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

Immune escape mechanisms critically restrict the efficacy of immunotherapy in lung cancer (LC), with only 20%-30% of patients responding to checkpoint inhibitors. To systematically map global trends and identify emerging hotspots, this study analyzed 2813 publications related to immune escape in LC immunotherapy from 1995 to 2025 (data retrieved August 9, 2025; analysis of annual trends uses complete year data through 2024) sourced from the Web of Science Core Collection database. Bibliometric visualization was performed using VOSviewer (version 1.6.19), CiteSpace (version 6.2.R3), and the biblioshiny R package. The dataset encompassed 75 countries, 3421 institutions, and 18,023 researchers across 693 journals. Publication trends delineated three distinct phases: an initial phase (1995-2010), an acceleration phase (2011-2018), and a maturation phase (2019-2024). China dominates in publication volume (1,382 papers) and total citations (45,657), whereas the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center emerged as the most influential institution (n = 87). The
