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

To optimize patient selection for first-line immune-checkpoint inhibitor plus chemotherapy (ICI-Chemo) in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), we developed a 9-gene Immune-Chemotherapy Prediction Score (ICPscore) from the phase 3 ORIENT-11 trial. A high ICPscore identified patients with markedly superior progression-free and overall survival from ICI-Chemo versus chemotherapy alone, whereas low-scorers derived minimal benefit, outperforming existing biomarkers such as PD-L1. Its predictive value for immunotherapy efficacy was further validated in the OAK (NSCLC) and IMvigor210 (metastatic urothelial cancer) cohorts. Multi-cohort and single-cell analyses linked a high ICPscore to an immune-active tumor microenvironment characterized by myeloid cell activation, thus providing a biological rationale for its enhanced performance and positioning it as a robust tool for treatment personalization.
