Popis: BACKGROUND Immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy for non-small cell lung cancer is widely used in clinical practice. However, there has not been a systematic statistical proof of the efficacy of PD-1 inhibitors in patients with advanced cancer. This meta-analysis aims to evaluate its efficacy and related influencing factors, so as to provide a basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment. OBJECTIVE To assess the effectiveness and safety of programmed death-1 (PD-1)/PD ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitors versus chemotherapy as second-line or late-line treatment for patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) via a systematic review of published randomized controlled trials (RCTs). METHODS Studies were identified through PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library electronic databases. RevMan 5.3.5 was used to analyze the data extracted from all eligible studies. RESULTS All 4122 eligible patients from 8 RCTs were included in this study. The meta-analysis showed that PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors could significantly improve overall survival (hazards ratio [HR] 0.71, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.66-0.77, P
