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

backgroundBone metastases are the most common metastases of the non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It can lead to bone ache and pathology fracture, deteriorate the quality of life.

methodsWe retrospectively investigated the characteristics, diagnosis and prognosis factors of bone metastases in NSCLC. All of the 600 patients are from department of thoracic oncology in recently 5 years. Emission computed tomography (ECT) was used to screen the bone metastases and the diagnosis of bone metastases was confirmed by computed tomography (CT)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)/X-ray or pathology.

resultsAmong the total 322 bone metastases patients, subtype of adenocarcinoma had the most opportunity to occur bone metastases, and we found that vertebrae, pelvis and femora et al were the most frequently involved metastases sites. Patients who had more than 3 high 18F-FDG uptake sites of ECT, could be confirmed bone metastases by CT/MRI/X-ray than those with 1-2 high 18F-FDG uptake sites [80.6% (203/252) vs 50.79% (32/63), P<0.001]. The patients with bone metastases who had non-SRE had longer survival than that of SRE [1-yr survival 44.75% (non-SRE) vs 36.17% (SRE); median survival 14.74 mo (non-SRE) vs 12.25 mo (SRE)]. Multivariables analysis showed the pathology were non-adnocarcinoma, bone metastases less than 3 sites and bone metastases without other organs metastases would have good prognosis.

conclusionsThere were relations between the numbers of abnormal dense sites of ECT and the diagnosis of skeletal metastases, non-adnocarcinoma bone metastases less than 3 sites and bone metastases without other organs metastases were the independent prognosis factors.
