Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Objective: To analyse positron emission tomography/ computed tomography (PET/CT) imaging and clinical data from patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), to identify characteristics of survival beneficiaries of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) treatment and to establish a survival prediction model. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on PET/CT imaging and clinical parameters of 155 NSCLC patients who underwent baseline PET/CT examination at the Department of Nuclear Medicine, Hebei General Hospital. The Kaplan-Meier curve was employed to compare progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) between the ICIs and non-ICIs group and to assess the impact of variables on PFS and OS in the ICIs group. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was conducted with parameters significantly associated with survival in univariate analysis. Results: Significant differences were observed in PFS ( Conclusion: Smoking history, primary lesion SUVmax, MTVp, and TLGp were independent predictors of PFS, whilst age, smoking history, SUVmax, MTVp, and TLGp were independent predictors of OS in the ICIs group. Patients without a history of smoking and with SUVmax ≤19.2, MTVp ≤20.745cm
