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: Whether adding immunotherapy to chemotherapy is beneficial for some patients with Methods: We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis with reconstructed individual patient data to assess outcomes to chemo-immunotherapy with or without VEGFi in patients with advanced Results: Among seven randomized clinical trials (n = 2196 patients), compared with chemotherapy with or without VEGFi, chemo-immunotherapy extended the median progression-free survival whether combined with VEGFi (8.1 versus 5.5 mo; hazard ratio [HR]: 0.59; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.53-0.67; Conclusion: Chemo-immunotherapy with or without VEGFi may produce a modest survival improvement in select patients with
