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

Background and Aims: To evaluate the efficacy and prognostic value of various immunoprognostic scoring systems-Lung Immune Prognostic Index (LIPI), modified Glasgow Prognostic Score (mGPS), and Gustave Roussy Immune Score (GRIm)-in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of clinical data from 219 NSCLC patients treated with ICIs at Zhongshan Hospital (Xiamen), Fudan University from June 1, 2019 to January 31, 2024. The therapeutic efficacy and predictive capabilities of the scoring systems were assessed using Kaplan-Meier curves, Cox proportional hazards models, time-dependent ROC curves, and random survival forest models. Results: The median follow-up was 29 months (IQR: 25.96-32.04), resulting in 93 observed deaths. Both LIPI and GRIm scores correlated with declining overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) as risk levels increased. LIPI demonstrated superior predictive performance at 12, 24, and 36 months (AUC: 0.70, 0.62, 0.61, respectively). Multivariate analysis identified immune-related adverse events (irAEs) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels as independent prognostic factors for OS. Conclusion: LIPI serves as an effective prognostic tool for NSCLC patients receiving immunotherapy, outperforming individual inflammatory markers. Additionally, irAEs and LDH levels are significant independent prognostic factors for OS.
