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 cisplatin-based chemotherapy only marginally improves survival in patients with completely resected non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We have evaluated the predictive value of mutations in TP53, encoding the tumour suppressor p53, in the International Adjuvant Lung Cancer Trial (IALT), a randomized trial of adjuvant cisplatin-based chemotherapy against observation. TP53 (exons 4-8) was sequenced in 524 archived specimens of IALT patients with a median follow-up of 7.5 years. Predictive analyses were based on Cox models adjusted for clinical and pathological variables. P-values ≤ 0.01 were considered as significant. Mutations were detected in 221 patients (42%) and had no predictive value for the effect of chemotherapy (interaction between TP53 and treatment: p = 0.17 for Overall Survival (OS); p = 0.06 for Disease-Free Interval, (DFS)). However, among patients with mutations, outcome appeared worse in treatment compared to observation arms (HR for OS = 1.36 (95% CI [0.97-1.31), p = 0.08; DFS = 1.40 (95% CI [1.01-1.95]), p = 0.04). When grouping mutations into classes according to predicted effects on protein structure, the tendency towards worse outcomes was restricted to "structure" mutations affecting residues of the hydrophobic core that are not located at the p53 protein-DNA interface (HR for death in this class vs wild-type T53 = 1.66; 95% CI [1.10-2.52], p = 0.02). Overall, TP53 mutations are not significant predictors of outcome in this trial of cisplatin-based chemotherapy, although a specific class of structural mutations may be associated with a tendency towards worse outcomes upon treatment.
