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: Adverse reactions (ARs) may occur in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (ANSCLC) undergoing treatment with programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) inhibitors (PD-1Is). Establishing a risk assessment model can facilitate personalized treatment. Methods: Clinical data were collected from 215 ANSCLC patients treated with PD-1Is. Patients who experienced ARs were classified as the observation group (OG, 92 cases), while those who did not experience ARs were classified as the control group (CG, 123 cases). A multivariable logistic regression (LR) model was employed to analyze independent risk factors (RFs) associated with ARs, and R Studio software was utilized to create a nomogram predictive model. Results: The concordance index for the nomogram predictive model for ARs in ANSCLC patients treated with PD-1Is was 0.911. The threshold for predicting ARs using the nomogram was more significant than 0.25, providing a clinical net benefit superior to individual indicators such as smoking, tumour-node-metastasis (TNM) staging, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), and prognostic nutritional index (PNI). The proportion of smokers in the OG was markedly superior to that in the CG (P<0.05). Conclusions: Smoking, TNM staging, and peripheral blood indicators such as NLR, SII, and PNI are independent RFs for the occurrence of ARs. The constructed nomogram predictive model demonstrates greater clinical utility than individual indicators, enhancing the accuracy of AR predictions.
