Neoadjuvant Nivolumab Plus Ipilimumab Versus Chemotherapy in Resectable Lung Cancer.
Trial report in Journal of clinical oncology : official journal of the American Society of Clinical Oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
purposeNeoadjuvant immune checkpoint blockade with nivolumab plus ipilimumab improves overall survival (OS) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC); however, randomized data for resectable lung cancer are limited. We report results from the exploratory concurrently randomized nivolumab plus ipilimumab and chemotherapy arms of the international phase III CheckMate 816 trial.
methodsAdults with stage IB-IIIA (American Joint Committee on Cancer seventh edition) resectable NSCLC received three cycles of nivolumab once every 2 weeks plus one cycle of ipilimumab or three cycles of chemotherapy (on day 1 or days 1 and 8 of each 3-week cycle) followed by surgery. Analyses included event-free survival (EFS), OS, pathologic response, surgical outcomes, biomarker analyses, and safety.
resultsA total of 221 patients were concurrently randomly assigned to nivolumab plus ipilimumab (n = 113) or chemotherapy (n = 108). At a median follow-up of 49.2 months, the median EFS was 54.8 months (95% CI, 24.4 to not reached [NR]) with nivolumab plus ipilimumab versus 20.9 months (95% CI, 14.2 to NR) with chemotherapy (HR, 0.77 [95% CI, 0.51 to 1.15]); 3-year EFS rates were 56% versus 44%. Higher rates of EFS events were initially seen, with later benefit favoring nivolumab plus ipilimumab; 3-year OS rates were 73% versus 61% (HR, 0.73 [95% CI, 0.47 to 1.14]); pathologic complete response rates were 20.4% versus 4.6%, respectively. In the respective arms, 83 (74%) and 82 patients (76%) underwent definitive surgery. Grade 3-4 treatment-related adverse events occurred in 14% and 36% of patients, respectively.
conclusionNeoadjuvant nivolumab plus ipilimumab showed potential long-term clinical benefit versus chemotherapy, despite early crossing of EFS curves in the preoperative phase and a lower rate of high-grade toxicity.
