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

backgroundFor lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) patients receiving platinum-based adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT), predictive signatures extracted from survival data solely are not directly associated with platinum response. Another limitation of reported signatures, commonly based on risk scores summarised from gene expressions, is that they could not be applied directly to samples measured by different laboratories due to experimental batch effects.

methodsUsing 60 samples of LUAD patients receiving platinum-based ACT in TCGA, we pre-selected gene pairs whose within-samples relative expression orderings (REOs) were significantly associated with both pathological response and 5-year survival, from which we selected an optimal signature whose within-samples REOs could identify responders with improved 5-year survival rate.

resultsA predictive signature consisting of three gene pairs was developed. In an independent data set integrated from five small data sets, the predicted responders had a significantly higher 5-year survival rate than the predicted non-responders if and only if they received platinum-based ACT (log-rank P=0.0006). The predicted responders showed a 22% absolute benefit of platinum-based ACT in 5-year survival rate compared with untreated patients (log-rank P=0.0019).

conclusionsThe REO-based signature can individually predict response to platinum-based ACT with concordant survival benefit directly for LUAD samples measured by different laboratories.
