Multicenter evaluation of predictive clinical and imaging factors for pathological response in non-small cell lung cancer patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors.

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
backgroundThis study aimed to identify clinical factors and develop a predictive model for pathological complete response (pCR) and major pathological response (MPR) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs).
methodsCases meeting inclusion criteria were divided into high- and low-risk groups according to 75 clinical indicators based on tenfold LASSO selection. Logistic regression was employed to analyze both pCR and MPR. The accuracy of the nomograms was assessed using the time-dependent area under the curve (AUC).
resultsA total of 297 patients from four multiple centers were included in the study, with 212 assigned to the training set and 85 to the testing set. The AUC was determined for the prediction of pCR (training: 0.97; testing: 0.88) and MPR (training: 0.98; testing: 0.81). Significant associations were observed between the preoperative tumor maximum diameter, preoperative tumor maximum standardized uptake value (SUV
conclusionsThe combined application of clinical indicators including non-invasive tumor imaging and hematology can help clinicians to obtain a higher ability to predict NSCLC patient's pathological remission, and the effect is better than that of clinical factors alone. These findings could help guide personalized treatment strategies in this patient population.
