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

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. The discovery of specific driver mutations has revolutionized the treatment landscape of oncogene-addicted NSCLC through targeted therapies, significantly improving patient outcomes. However, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have demonstrated limited effectiveness in this context. Emerging evidence, though, reveals significant heterogeneity among different driver mutation subgroups, suggesting that certain patient subsets may benefit from ICIs, particularly when combined with other therapeutic modalities. In this review, we comprehensively examine the current evidence on the efficacy of immunotherapy in oncogene-addicted NSCLC. By analyzing recent clinical trials and preclinical studies, along with an overview of mechanisms that may reduce immunotherapy efficacy, we explored potential strategies to address these challenges, to provide insights that could optimize immunotherapy approaches and integrate them effectively into the treatment algorithm for oncogene-addicted NSCLC.
