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

purposeThe present study was designed to elucidate the fluctuation of activated CECs (aCECs) during different therapies and to investigate their predictive value for efficacy of anti-angiogenesis and chemotherapy in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

methodsSeventy-two patients were randomized into three arms, treated with concomitant NP (vinorelbine and cisplatin) and Rh-endostatin, Rh-endostatin followed by NP, and single NP up to a maximum of six cycles. Response, time to progression (TTP), and aCECs levels were observed. The correlation between aCECs and efficacy was analyzed.

resultsWe found that TTP was 8.5 months in concomitant NP and Rh-endostatin versus 5.3 months in NP (p = 0.04) and 6.0 months in Rh-endostatin followed by NP. aCECs fluctuated during the therapeutic period, with a significantly high level from baseline on 8th day of Rh-endostatin followed by NP regimen, that is, when single Rh-endostatin was administered for 1 week, and upon completion of therapy in cases of progressive disease in each group (all p < 0.05). When TTP was longer than 10 months, aCECs count difference (∆aCECs, the difference in the aCECs by post-therapeutic amount minus pre-therapeutic amount) was reversely correlated to TTP (p = 0.003, r = -0.647).

conclusionsAn improved synergistic effect was achieved from concomitant NP and Rh-endostatin compared with Rh-endostatin followed by NP and single NP. aCECs increased when the disease was aggravated or single Rh-endostatin treatment of Rh-endostatin was administered, while they decreased when a clinical response to the combined therapy was obtained. Our results suggest ∆aCECs as an ideal marker to predict the response to Rh-endostatin combined with chemotherapy.
