1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundThe proportion of patients carrying driver gene mutations is notably high among individuals with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in China. However, the current neoadjuvant treatment strategies for these patients lack evident benefits. This study aims to investigate the efficacy and adverse reactions of neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy in patients with driver gene-positive NSCLC, thereby exploring its potential therapeutic value.

methodsA total of 50 patients from two centers were retrospectively collected to compare the efficacy and adverse reactions among driver gene-positive NSCLC patients after different treatments and further explore the response to neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy among different EGFR-sensitive subtypes.

resultsA total of 50 patients from two centers were included in this study. Among the 40 patients from Peking University People's Hospital (PKUPH), 21 received neoadjuvant immunotherapy, with 57.1% showing partial response on imaging. The major pathological response (MPR) rate after neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy was 38.1%, and pathological complete response (pCR) was only observed in this group. No significant differences were noted in adverse events or their impact on surgical difficulty among different treatments. Additionally, 10 patients from Hunan Cancer Hospital (HNCA) were included to analyze the differences in efficiency among EGFR-sensitive subtypes under various neoadjuvant strategies. No significant radiological response differences were observed between neoadjuvant immunotherapy and targeted therapy. However, patients with the L858R mutation exhibited MPR and pCR only after receiving immunotherapy, surpassing targeted therapy outcomes, while no significant differences were found among 19del patients.

conclusionsUnder the premise of not exacerbating adverse effects, neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy achieved superior rates of MPR and pCR, with long-term survival comparable to targeted therapy.
