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

The aim of this clinical study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of nab-paclitaxel to treat patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who failed first-line chemotherapy. Eligible patients had advanced NSCLC and had been treated with first-line platinum-based chemotherapy but still had disease progression. Patients received nab-paclitaxel 100 mg/m(2) (i.v.) on days 1, 8 and 15 of a 28-day cycle. Primary endpoint is 6-month progression-free survival (PFS). Fifty-six patients with advanced NSCLC were enrolled in the study (55.4 % male patients, 44.6 % female patients; median age 59.6 years; ranging from 32 to 83 years). Six-month PFS rate was 18 % (95 % CI 7.8-28.7 %). Median PFS was 3.5 months (95 % CI 1.9-5.8 months). Median overall survival was 6.8 months (95 % CI 4.7-9.3 months). No complete responses were achieved. Overall response rate was 16.1 % (95 % CI 8.9-24.7 %). Grade 3 or 4 adverse events (AEs) were observed in patients receiving nab-paclitaxel. The most common grade 3 or 4 AEs were dizziness, pulmonary embolism and fatigue. Nab-paclitaxel showed clinically equivalent efficacy on patients' survivals and response rates, as compared with other FDA-approved second-line chemotherapy agents. Given the tolerability on grade 3 or 4 adverse events, nab-paclitaxel may be considered an alternative second-line treatment option for NSCLC.
