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

objectiveMost small cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients relapse or progress and have low survival rate although they have significant response to initial chemotherapy and radiotherapy. This study intends to explore the factors affecting the relapse (or progression) of nonoperative SCLC and to explore the correlations between progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).

methodsClinical data of 182 patients diagnosed with SCLC between January 2009 and December 2011 at Shanghai Chest Hospital has been reviewed and retrospectively analyzed. All of these patients accepted chemotherapy combined (or not combined) with radiotherapy, and relapsed or progressed after first-line therapy. Univariate Kaplan-Meier survival estimates as well as multivariate Cox regression survival analysis were used to locate the potential factors affecting PFS. The correlation between PFS and OS was analyzed via Bivariate Correlation Analysis method.

resultsThe univariate estimates showed that the TNM stage, liver metastasis or not, brain metastasis or not, first-line chemotherapy cycles, effect of initial chemotherapy, and thoracic radiotherapy combined or not were the significant contributive factors to PFS. In the subgroup of the patients without brain metastases, those received prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) had longer PFS. Cox regression indicated that the three independent variables of first-line chemotherapy cycles, effect of initial chemotherapy and thoracic radiotherapy combined or not were closely related to PFS. In addition, significant positive correlation between PFS and OS had been observed.

conclusionsPFS could be prolonged by having more first-line chemotherapy cycles (>4 cycles), obtaining better effect of initial chemotherapy (partial response or complete response), combining with thoracic radiotherapy and implementing PCI for patients without brain metastasis.
