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.

Abstract

purposeCertain clinicopathological factors contribute to the development of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in lung cancer. The aim of the current study was to assess the incidence of and the potential risk factors associated with the development of VTE in Chinese lung cancer patients.

methodsPatients with lung cancer in our center were screened for VTE from January 2004 to July 2013. One VTE case was matched with two controls according to gender, pathology, clinical stage, and anticancer therapy.

resultsAmong the 4,726 patient records screened, 61 (1.3 %) VTE cases with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) were identified, including 58 (95.1 %) with adenocarcinoma and 59 (96.7 %) with advanced stage tumors (IIIb and IV). Serous effusion (OR 2.089, 95 % CI 1.022-4.270, P = 0.043), fever (OR 8.999, 95 % CI 1.688-47.968, P = 0.010), increased leukocytes (OR 4.136, 95 % CI 1.957-8.738, P < 0.001), hyponatremia (< 130 mmol/L, OR 5.335, 95 % CI 1.366-20.833, P = 0.016), and increased alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (OR 3.879, 95 % CI 1.514-9.936, P = 0.005) were associated with an increased risk of VTE. Patients with poor performance status (PS) (≥ 2 vs. < 1) (HR 1.574, 95 % CI 1.112-2.228, P = 0.010) and serous effusion (HR 1.571, 95% CI 1.114-2.215, P = 0.010) tended to have a poor prognosis. There was no difference in overall survival between VTE (median 15.2 months, 95 % CI 11.6-18.9) and control patients (median 16.3 months, 95 % CI 14.1-18.4, P = 0.184; HR 1.273, 95 % CI 0.890-1.820, P = 0.185).

conclusionsClinical characteristics such as serous effusion, fever, increased leukocytes, hyponatremia, and increased ALT are potential risk factors for VTE in NSCLC. Poor PS and serous effusion imply poor prognosis for NSCLC patients, most of which have adenocarcinomas and advanced stage.
