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

BACKGROUND AND

objectivePlatinum plus a third-generation agent doublet chemotherapy is the standard regimen and first-line chemotherapy for the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of docetaxel plus platinum (DP) compared with vinorelbine plus platinum (VP) regimens in patients with advanced NSCLC.

methodsWe searched the PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, CNKI, CBM, VIP, and WanFang databases for randomized controlled trials (RCTs), in which DP regimen was compared with VP regimen. A quality assessment of qualified RCTs was performed according to Cochrane Handbook 5.1.0, and Stata 12.0 was used to perform meta-analysis.

resultsSeven RCTs involving 2,318 patients were included. Meta-analysis results indicated that the DP regimen increased the two-year survival rate (HR=0.887, 95%CI: 0.810-0.972, P=0.010), response rate (RR=1.276, 95%CI: 1.107 -1.450, P=0.001), and diarrhea rate (RR=3.134, 95%CI: 1.918-5.121, P<0.001) compared with the VP regimen. Anemia rate was also reduced (RR=0.386, 95%CI: 0.311-0.478, P<0.001). No statistical differences were observed between DP and VP regimens in terms of one-year survival rate, leukopenia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, anorexia, nausea, and vomiting.

conclusionsDP regimen reduced the rate of anemia and increased the rate of diarrhea, two-year survival rate, and response rate. Therefore, DP regimen may be a more effective option as a first-line treatment for advanced NSCLC compared with VP regimen.
