The combination of chemotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors in recurrent extensive-stage small cell lung cancer: a case report.
Article in Journal of cardiothoracic surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) accounts for approximately 15% of all lung cancer cases and is characterized by high malignancy, rapid progression, and poor prognosis. Here, we report a case of a 58-year-old female patient who was initially diagnosed with extensive-stage SCLC (ES-SCLC) with liver metastasis. The patient underwent etoposide and cisplatin (EP) chemotherapy combined with local radiotherapy and achieved a complete response. The progression-free survival reached 48 months, and upon relapse, the patient received EP chemotherapy combined with the programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) inhibitor, tislelizumab, as immunotherapy. During the treatment period, the patient experienced immune-related pancreatitis, but the symptoms were relieved with timely intervention and treatment. As of January 2, 2024, the patient's overall survival exceeded 95 months. This case highlights the potential efficacy of the combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy in recurrent ES-SCLC patients and underscores the importance of close monitoring and management of immune-related adverse reactions. The study provides valuable insights into the application of personalized treatment in lung cancer management and offers new possibilities for extending patient survival.
