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 aim of this study was to assess systemic immunological responses in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with stage III/IV disease during treatment with paclitaxel-ifosfamide-cisplatin (TIP) chemotherapy.

methodsPeripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) collected from healthy donors (HD) (n = 20) and chemotherapy-naive NSCLC patients treated with TIP (n = 32) were tested for production of IL-1, TNF-α, TNF-β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12 and IL-2 upon polyclonal stimulation with anti-CD3 mAb. They were further assessed over a treatment period of twelve weeks (i.e., four treatment cycles).

resultsPBMCs from NSCLC patients produced higher IL-1, TNF-α, TNF-β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10 and IL-12 levels, whereas IL-2 exhibited lower values compared to HD (p < 0.001 for all parameters). Of interest, patients who responded to treatment had significantly higher increases in IL-2 (p < 0.001) and significantly higher decreases in IL-1 (p < 0.001), TNF-α (p < 0.001), TNF-β (p < 0.001), IL-6 (p = 0.02), IL-8 (p < 0.001), IL-10 (p < 0.001) and IL-12 (p < 0.001) levels. Non-responders revealed post-therapeutically a significantly higher increase in IL-1, TNF-α, TNF-β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10 and IL-12 secretion and a significantly higher decrease in IL-2 levels (p < 0.001 for all parameters). Patients who responded to treatment and had a significantly higher increase in IL-2 showed a significantly longer median survival (p value < 0.001, 26 vs. 7.5 months).

conclusionOur study indicates that monitoring cytokine dynamics in patients with advanced NSCLC and especially those of IL-2 in peripheral blood components in vitro could be used as a predictor of treatment-related outcome and overall survival in NSCLC.
