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

This multicenter retrospective study analyzed data from 1266 patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) across five leading hospitals in China. The aim was to evaluate survival outcomes and safety profiles of programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) and programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitors. The main outcomes included overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS), while the secondary endpoint was adverse events. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, univariate and multivariate Cox regression modeling, and propensity score matching (PSM) analyses were performed to compare the real-world efficacies of PD-1 and PD-L1. Patients receiving PD-1 inhibitors had significantly longer median OS compared with those treated with PD-L1 inhibitors (28.2 versus [vs.] 24.6 months; hazard ratio [HR] 0.74 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.59-0.93];
