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

Combining immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and anti-angiogenic pharmacologic agents is an encouraging therapeutic approach in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Currently, the only FDA-approved therapy combining an immune checkpoint inhibitor and a vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitor is atezolizumab, bevacizumab, and chemotherapy in first-line metastatic NSCLC patients. However, the combination of nivolumab, a programmed death-1 (PD-1) inhibitor, and bevacizumab has also shown encouraging results in patients with NSCLC with minimal adverse effects, respectively. This communication aims to highlight the efficacy of nivolumab and bevacizumab in NSCLC patients without sensitizing mutations in epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), or ROS proto-oncogene 1 (ROS1). In addition, the combination of nivolumab/atezolizumab and bevacizumab with other therapeutic agents is also discussed. We also underscore the adverse effects and limitations of such combinations in NSCLC patients. Future studies should focus on large-scale trials and biomarker identification to establish the benefits of these combination therapies in NSCLC patients.
