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

Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) accounts for 10-15% of lung cancers and is characterized by early metastasis, treatment resistance and rapid progression. Treatment advancements have been stagnant for decades, with chemotherapy as the mainstay and immune checkpoint inhibitors offering only modest survival extensions. However, new insights into tumor heterogeneity and recent practice-changing observations such as the identification of targetable cell surface proteins could effectively transform SCLC therapy. In this Review, we highlight key advances in SCLC biology, therapeutic innovation and biomarker development. Finally, we discuss the role of reverse translation in optimizing treatments, approaches to overcoming resistance and ensuring equitable access to care.
