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

backgroundSmall-cell lung cancer (SCLC) represents one of the most aggressive forms of lung cancer. Despite the fair sensitivity of SCLC to chemotherapy and radiotherapy, the current standard treatment regimens have modest survival rates and are associated with potential life-threatening adverse events. Therefore, research into new optimised regimens that increase drug efficacy while respecting toxicity constraints is of primary importance.

methodsA PK/PD model for the combination of cisplatin and etoposide to treat extensive-stage SCLC patients was generated. The model takes into consideration both the efficacy of the drugs and their haematological toxicity. Using optimisation techniques, the model can be used to propose new regimens.

resultsThree new regimens with varying timing for combining cisplatin and etoposide have been generated that respect haematological toxicity constraints and achieve better or similar tumour regression. The proposed regimens are: (1) Protocol OP1: etoposide 80 mg m

conclusionsMathematical modelling can help optimise the design of new cisplatin plus etoposide regimens for managing extensive-stage SCLC patients.
