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

Growing evidence suggests that circadian timing influences the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors across multiple malignancies. However, evidence in extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) remains limited to a single East Asian cohort, and independent validation in other populations is lacking. We conducted a retrospective single-center cohort study of 107 patients with ES-SCLC treated with first-line platinum-etoposide plus atezolizumab or durvalumab. The time of day of administration (ToDA) was defined as the median start time of the first four immunotherapy infusions, and patients were categorized according to the cohort median ToDA. The primary endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). The cohort median ToDA was 11:54. Patients treated before the median ToDA had significantly longer median PFS (9.07 vs. 7.23 months,
