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

objectiveTo compare the efficacy and safety of a sequential combination of chemoradiotherapy (CRT) with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) administered as induction plus consolidation versus consolidation-only in patients with unresectable stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

methodsThis retrospective study enrolled 265 patients treated at two centers between March 2019 and August 2023. Patients were categorized into a consolidation-only group (

resultsBefore PSM, no significant survival differences were observed between groups (2-y PFS: 52.6% vs. 63.5%,

conclusionIn treatment-tolerant patients, induction plus consolidation therapy demonstrated comparable efficacy and safety to consolidation-only therapy in unresectable stage III NSCLC.
