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

Steroid hormones play critical roles in the development and progression of NSCLC through both genomic and non-genomic pathways. This review summarizes the expression profiles and molecular functions of estrogen, progesterone, androgen, and glucocorticoid receptors in NSCLC. Estrogen and progesterone receptors exhibit gender-specific prognostic significance, while glucocorticoid receptors influence tumor growth and immune responses. Emerging evidence supports the use of anti-estrogen therapies and glucocorticoids as adjuncts to existing treatment strategies, including immunotherapy. The crosstalk between hormone signaling and oncogenic pathways such as EGFR or immune checkpoints offers opportunities for novel combination therapies. However, challenges remain in biomarker development, drug resistance, and managing the dual effects of glucocorticoids. A deeper understanding of hormone-tumor-immune interactions is essential to optimize hormone-targeted interventions in NSCLC.
