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

Introduction: Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) is a standard first-line treatment for stage IV NSCLC without actionable oncogenic alterations. Methods: We conducted a retrospective multicenter study including consecutive stage IV LUAD patients (n = 424) treated with either ICB or platinum-doublet chemotherapy between 2016 and 2021 in Western Sweden. Patient demographics, tumor characteristics, treatment details, and survival outcomes were retrospectively collected from patient charts and the Swedish National Lung Cancer Registry. Results: Among 424 patients diagnosed with metastatic LUAD, 40% harbored Conclusions:
