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

In recent years, there has been significant research interest in the field of immunotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) within the academic community. Given the observed variations in individual responses, despite similarities in histopathologic type, immunohistochemical index, TNM stage, or mutation status, the identification of a reliable biomarker for early prediction of therapeutic responses is of utmost importance. Conventional medical imaging techniques primarily focus on macroscopic tumor monitoring, which may no longer adequately fulfill the requirements of clinical diagnosis and treatment. CT (computerized tomography) or PEF/CT-based radiomics has the potential to investigate the molecular-level biological attributes of tumors, such as PD-1/PD-L1 expression and tumor mutation burden, which offers a novel approach to assess the effectiveness of immunotherapy and forecast patient prognosis. The utilization of cutting-edge radiological imaging techniques, including radiomics, PET/CT, machine learning, and artificial intelligence, demonstrates significant potential in predicting diagnosis, treatment response, immunosuppressive characteristics, and immune-related adverse events. The current review highlights that CT scan-based radiomics is a reliable and feasible way to predict the benefits of immunotherapy in patients with advanced NSCLC.
