Vibostolimab Coformulated with Pembrolizumab Plus Chemotherapy as First-Line Therapy for Extensive-Stage Small-Cell Lung Cancer.
Article in Targeted oncology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05224141 (A Phase 3, Randomized, Double-Blind Study of MK-7684A in Combination With Etoposide and Platinum Followed by MK-7684A vs Atezolizumab in Combination With Etoposide and Platinum Followed by Atezolizumab for the First-Line Treatment of Participants With Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer), which is not on this map.

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
backgroundVibostolimab, an anti-T-cell immunoreceptor with immunoglobulin and ITIM domains (TIGIT) antibody, showed antitumor activity with pembrolizumab in non-small-cell lung cancer.
objectiveThe KEYVIBE-008 study evaluated vibostolimab coformulated with pembrolizumab (vibostolimab/pembrolizumab) plus etoposide and platinum-based chemotherapy (EP) versus atezolizumab plus EP as first-line therapy for extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer.
methodsParticipants aged ≥18 years with untreated extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer were randomized 1:1 to vibostolimab/pembrolizumab (200 mg each) or atezolizumab (1200 mg) every 3 weeks, with EP and cisplatin/carboplatin for the first four cycles. The primary endpoint was overall survival. The prespecified interim analysis included a non-binding futility analysis of overall survival (futility threshold for actual number of events, P = 0.4816).
resultsFour hundred and sixty participants were randomized (both arms, n = 230). Median time from randomization to data cutoff (4 June, 2024) was 16.6 (range 11.3‒26.1) months. The prespecified futility criterion for overall survival was met (hazard ratio 1.26; 95% confidence interval 1.00‒1.59; P = 0.9762). There was no difference in progression-free survival (hazard ratio 1.01; 95% confidence interval 0.82‒1.23) or objective response rates (71.7% with vibostolimab/pembrolizumab vs 74.8% with atezolizumab). Grade ≥3 treatment-related adverse events occurred in 66.8% of participants treated with vibostolimab/pembrolizumab and 57.2% treated with atezolizumab. Immune-mediated adverse events and infusion reactions occurred in 39.3% and 29.7% of participants, respectively.
conclusionsIn this interim analysis of vibostolimab/pembrolizumab plus EP versus atezolizumab plus EP as first-line therapy for extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer, the prespecified futility criterion for overall survival was met. Grade ≥3 treatment-related adverse events and immune-mediated adverse events were more frequent with vibostolimab/pembrolizumab versus atezolizumab. Given the overall benefit/risk profile, treatment with vibostolimab/pembrolizumab was discontinued. CLINICAL
