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

purposeTo evaluate the long-term outcome and the predictor of survival in patients treated with transcatheter arterial chemical infusion for advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). MATERIALS AND

methodsFrom May 2008 to August 2014, a total of 40 consecutive patients with advanced NSCLC who underwent transcatheter arterial chemical infusion were enrolled in this retrospective study. Data on patients' characteristics, treatment response and follow-up were collected and analyzed.

resultsA total of 142 cycles of transcatheter arterial chemical infusion were administered to the 40 patients (3.55 cycles per case). In 21 patients, only the bronchial artery was the tumor feeding artery, while in the remaining 19 patients, other arteries in addition to the bronchial artery served as the tumor feeding arteries. Five patients underwent bronchial arterial embolization after transcatheter arterial chemical infusion. There was no serious procedure-related complication. During 1-60 months (mean 11.5 ± 10.0 months) follow-up, 33 patients died. The objective response and disease control rates were 32.5 and 92.5 %, respectively. The mean time to tumor progression and overall survival was 9.2 ± 1.4 and 13.1 ± 2.0 months, respectively. Based on univariate and multivariate analyses, the independent predictors of decreasing overall survival were airway, esophagus, or superior vena cava involvement (P = 0.037) and more tumor feeding arteries in addition to the bronchial artery (P = 0.003).

conclusionTranscatheter arterial chemical infusion is an easy and effective method for treating patients with advanced NSCLC and it can provide a favorable long-term outcome.
