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

Adjuvant chemotherapy is associated with increased overall survival in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but is associated with high-grade toxicity. The effect of cisplatin-based adjuvant chemotherapy on non-lung cancer-related mortality is not well investigated. We conducted a systematic review and a study-level meta-analysis of published randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in order to determine the overall risk of non-lung cancer-related mortality associated with adjuvant cisplatin-based chemotherapy in NSCLC. PubMed was searched to identify relevant studies. Eligible publications included prospective RCTs in which cisplatin-based adjuvant chemotherapy plus local therapy was compared with local therapy alone in NSCLC. Summary incidence rates, relative risks (RRs), and 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using fixed- or random-effects models. Primary endpoint was non-lung cancer-related mortality risk (due to cardiovascular, respiratory or second malignancy deaths for example), and secondary endpoints were chemotherapy-related, second primary tumor-related, cardiovascular-related, and unknown cause mortalities. A total of 6,430 patients with NSCLC from 16 RCTs were included in the analysis. Compared with no chemotherapy, the use of cisplatin-based adjuvant chemotherapy was associated with an increased risk of non-lung cancer-related death, with an RR of 1.30 (95 % CI 1.1-1.53; P = 0.002; incidence, 9.3 vs. 7.2 %; absolute difference 2 %). Cisplatin-based adjuvant chemotherapy was also associated with a greater risk of chemotherapy-related mortality (RR 2.16, 95 % CI 1.15-4.06; P = 0.02). Second primary tumor-related mortality and cardiovascular-related mortality were similar. In this meta-analysis of RCTs in NSCLC, cisplatin-based adjuvant chemotherapy was associated with a 30 % increase in non-lung cancer-related mortality compared with local therapy alone.
