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

introductionSmall-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a highly malignant neuroendocrine tumour, and concurrent chemoradiotherapy is the current recommended treatment for limited-stage SCLC. However, the overall survival (OS) of patients with SCLC remains poor. Therefore, improving the survival of patients with SCLC and benefitting more patients are urgent clinical requirements. Immunotherapy has achieved good efficacy in extensive-stage SCLC and non-SCLC. However, the use of neoadjuvant immunotherapy in limited-stage SCLC is unknown but promising. To this end, we plan to conduct a study on adebrelimab in combination with chemotherapy for the neoadjuvant treatment of limited-stage SCLC. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This will be a single-arm, prospective study. The primary endpoint of this study will be a pathological complete remission rate. The secondary endpoints will be a major pathological response, objective response rate, event-free survival, OS, R0 resection rate, safety and potential predictive biomarker parameters related to efficacy in peripheral blood samples, including minimal residual disease, circulating tumour cells and cluster of differentiation (CD) 4/CD8. This study will enrol 28 patients. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: This study was approved by the Biomedical Ethics Review Committee of West China Hospital, Sichuan University, on 1 August 2023 (grant number 2023[987]). The version of this study protocol is V7.0. The patients have been enrolled since September 2023. This study will conclude in January 2026, and the results will be presented to peer-reviewed medical journals and international scientific conferences in 2027. This study will provide important data on whether neoadjuvant treatment with adebrelimab combined with chemotherapy is clinically beneficial in patients with limited-stage SCLC.(Prospective study of neoadjuvant adebrelimab combined with chemotherapy in limited-stage SCLC; Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR), www.chictr.org.cn/; Number, ChiCTR2300074591.) TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: ChiCTR2300074591.
