The clinical outcome and risk factors analysis of immune checkpoint inhibitor-based treatment in lung adenocarcinoma patients with brain metastases.
Article in Translational lung cancer research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Background: The data about efficacy of immunotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer with brain metastases (BMs) from real-word settings are controversial. This real-word study is aimed to evaluate the clinical outcome of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-based treatment in lung adenocarcinoma patients with brain metastases (BMs) and explore potential risk factors, with a focus on the spatial distribution of BMs as previous studies suggested spatial heterogeneity on the brain immune microenvironment. Methods: Advanced lung adenocarcinoma patients with non-oncogene-addicted, who received ICI monotherapy or plus chemotherapy, were enrolled. Efficacy was assessed by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1. Intergroup comparisons were performed using Pearson's χ Results: A total of 198 patients were enrolled and brain metastasis occurred in 20.7% patients (N=41). Compared with patients without BMs, those with BMs had a comparable objective response rate (ORR; 29.3% Conclusions: For lung adenocarcinoma patients, those with BMs have inferior response to ICI-based treatment, but not significantly, and cerebellum metastasis is an independent risk factor with poor outcome for such patients, might attributing to the upregulated sulfur metabolism.
