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: Pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinoma (PSC) is a rare and highly malignant pathological subtype of non-small cell lung cancer. Most patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage. Chemotherapy is a treatment option to be considered. However, PSC is not sensitive to chemotherapy. The high expression of PD-L1 in PSC and the abundant infiltration of immune cells suggest that immunotherapy may be effective for PSC. Case Presentation: Here, we present a case of PSC. The patient was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer with metastases to the brain, liver, left adrenal gland, and bone. After 4 cycles of chemotherapy combined with camrelizumab, the patient received monotherapy with immunotherapy. After the progression of brain metastases, brain radiotherapy was added. It has been 43 months since the patient was diagnosed with lung cancer. The patient's condition remains stable and there are no obvious side effects. Conclusion: For patients with PSC, genetic testing is necessary. The efficacy of immunotherapy in patients with PSC is worthy of expectation.
