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

Patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR).For driver mutations, the use of EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) is the standard treatment, but acquired resistance is inevitable. There is currently no standard treatment for first-line TKI-resistant NSCLC patients. In recent years, although immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have transformed the treatment paradigm for advanced NSCLC without driver gene mutations, the clinical efficacy of these agents in patients with advanced NSCLC harboring EGFR mutations remains limited. Whether ICIs are suitable for patients with EGFR-mutated advanced NSCLC still warrants further investigation.This review summarizes several clinically utilized ICIs, presents clinical evidence regarding the efficacy of immunotherapy in patients with EGFR-mutated advanced NSCLC, and identifies EGFR-mutated subpopulations that may benefit from ICI treatment. On this basis, we explored more effective therapeutic strategies to extend the benefits of immunotherapy to a larger cohort of patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC.
