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

backgroundTo elucidate the differences in chemosensitivity to anticancer drugs between primary and metastatic lesions in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, we examined the in vitro chemosensitivities of surgically resected NSCLC tissues.

methodsA total of 32 specimens were enrolled: 26 specimens of primary lesions paired with metastases in the lymph node, 3 specimens of primary lesions paired with metastases in the adrenal gland, and 3 specimens of primary lesions paired with metastases in the lung. The collagen gel droplet embedded culture drug test (CD-DST) was applied to examine the sensitivity of the tissues to anticancer drugs, including cisplatin, gemcitabine, vinorelbine, docetaxel and 5-fluorouracil.

resultsThe degree of in vitro sensitivity to each anticancer drug varied between the primary and metastatic lesions. The sensitivity of the paired metastatic lesions was significantly lower than that of the primary lesions only for gemcitabine (P=0.029), vinorelbine (P=0.012), and docetaxel (P=0.009). The incidence of cases diagnosed as CD-DST-sensitive among the paired metastatic lesions was significantly lower than that for the primary lesions for vinorelbine (P=0.035) or docetaxel (P=0.022). The difference in the sensitivity to gemcitabine between the primary and paired non-lymphatic metastases was clearer than that between the primary lesion and paired lymph node metastases.

conclusionsThe sensitivities of the paired metastatic lesions to some anticancer drugs were significantly lower than those of the primary lesions. When performing chemotherapy based on CD-DST data using primary tumors from patients with postoperative recurrence, an appropriate regimen can be selected by carefully considering these differences.
