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

Lung cancer (LC) is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) representing 85-90% of cases. Despite the efficacy of PD-1/PD-L1 immune checkpoint inhibitors, primary and acquired resistance highlight the need for novel immunotherapeutic strategies. A systematic review of the literature from 2020 to 2025 was conducted according to the PICO model. Six studies were included, encompassing phase I-III clinical trials. The analysis focused on efficacy, safety, and emerging therapeutic strategies targeting TIGIT in NSCLC. TIGIT blockade enhances cytotoxic T lymphocyte and natural killer (NK) cell activity, strengthening antitumor immunity. Clinical trials, particularly with the monoclonal antibody tiragolumab combined with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors, show promising synergistic effects. Emerging strategies, including bispecific antibodies (e.g., TIGIT/PD-1 and TIGIT/PD-L1) and experimental cell therapies, are under investigation to further improve the antitumor response. Anti-TIGIT therapies represent a highly promising approach in NSCLC. While phase III data remain limited, biomarker-driven, well-designed trials are essential. If validated, TIGIT blockade could become a key addition to immuno-oncology treatment strategies for NSCLC.
