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

This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sintilimab combined with oral vinorelbine in newly diagnosed patients with stage IIIb to IV nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (PS) of 2 or over 75 years of age during the initial treatment. This prospective single-center single-arm study enrolled patients with histologically confirmed NSCLC. Eligible patients were administered sintilimab and vinorelbine. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS), and the secondary endpoints included objective response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR). Furthermore, this study assessed indicators of treatment response and safety. From September 2020 to December 2023, 60 eligible patients were enrolled in the Respiratory Department of Shanxi Cancer Hospital. Following treatment, PFS was 9.1 months, and ORR and DCR were 39.6 and 63.79%, respectively. In addition, there was a reduction in blood tumor marker levels and enhanced immune function. Adverse reactions had a relatively low incidence and primarily consisted of grade 1-2 cases. Sintilimab plus oral vinorelbine showed promising efficacy and safety as a first-line treatment strategy for patients with NSCLC with PS 2 or elderly patients. It also optimizes immune function in patients with NSCLC.
