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.

Abstract

The adenosinergic pathway represents a critical immunometabolic checkpoint within the tumor microenvironment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), contributing to immune suppression and therapeutic resistance. PBF-1129, an oral, selective A2B adenosine receptor (A2BAR) antagonist, was evaluated in a phase 1, open-label, dose-escalation trial (NCT03274479) in patients with advanced/metastatic NSCLC who had progressed on standard therapies. All patients had previously received chemotherapy and immune checkpoint blockade. Twenty-one patients received escalating doses (40-320 mg once daily), with no dose-limiting toxicities observed. The most frequently reported treatment related adverse events of any grade were lymphocytopenia (n = 8, 38.1%), vomiting (n = 8, 38.1%), anorexia (n = 6, 28.5%), and fatigue (n = 6, 28.5%). PBF-1129 showed dose-proportional pharmacokinetics and maintained plasma concentrations above the 90% maximal inhibitory concentration (IC
