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

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common subtype of lung cancer, and high programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression (≥50%) is a key biomarker for predicting clinical benefit from immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). This therapy has substantially improved long-term survival rates, with a five-year survival rate exceeding 25%. Nevertheless, primary or acquired resistance occurs in 30-40% of PD-L1-high patients. This resistance arises from multifactorial mechanisms involving tumor-intrinsic adaptations, immune microenvironment reprogramming, and extrinsic immunosuppressive signals. In this review, we systematically dissect the biological and clinical drivers of ICIs resistance in PD-L1-high NSCLC and explore emerging strategies to overcome these barriers, including novel combinatorial approaches and biomarker-guided therapies.
