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

backgroundStandard care for patients with inoperable advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is concurrent chemoradiotherapy. The ideal concurrent chemotherapy regimen has not been determined. The aim of this study is to retrospectively analyze the efficacy and safety of concurrent radiotherapy with carboplatin/paclitaxel administrated every three weeks (PC three-week regimen) in inoperable advanced NSCLC and compare them with the results of cisplatin/etoposide.

methodsThe 43 patients with inoperable advanced NSCLC receiving concurrent chemotherapy in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 2012 to June 2014 were enrolled and analyzed. Of them, 15 patients received carboplatin/paclitaxel with concurrent thoracic radiotherapy; the other 28 patients received cisplatin/etoposide. Clinical characteristic, efficacy and toxicity data were compared in these two groups.

resultsFor the overall population, the objective response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR) were 41.9% and 90.7% respectively. The median progression free survival (PFS) was 10.6 months (95%CI: 7.4-13.8). And the median overall survival (OS) was 19.2 months (95%CI: 15.3-23.1). There were no significant differences in response rates (ORR: 33.3% vs 46.4%; DCR: 86.7% vs 92.9%, P=0.638), PFS (6.6 months vs 12.2 months, P=0.389), or OS (16.1 months vs 22.1 months, P=0.555) in either group. The adverse events were generally manageable and no treatment-related deaths occurred.

conclusionsCompared with PE, PC three-week regimen concurrent thoracic radiotherapy for inoperable advanced NSCLC has the similar efficacy and acceptable toxicity profile, which can be used in clinical setting.
