Value of the lung immune prognostic index in patients with advanced small cell lung cancer treated with programmed death-ligand 1 and programmed death-1 inhibitors in the Chinese alpine region.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Purpose: To assess the potential added value of the lung immune prognostic index (LIPI) in patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC), treated with programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1)/programmed death-1 (PD-1) inhibitors, who lived in the Chinese alpine region. Methods: 120 SCLC patients treated with PD-L1/PD-1 inhibitors were divided into three LIPI groups, from July 2018 to April 2021. Cox regression models were used to evaluate the prognostic effect of three LIPI groups on overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). Logistic regression analysis was conducted to explore the association between immune-related adverse events (irAEs) and the pretreatment of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (dNLR), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and LIPI. Results: The median OS was 4.5, 6.3, and 10.0 months (
