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) accounts for nearly 15% of all cases of cancer. As a type of highly invasive tumors, SCLC has high degree of malignancy, early and extensive metastasis, and is sensitive to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The early treatment response rate of SCLC is high but it can also relapse rapidly without any treatment. Its median survival time is merely four to six months. Although many studies on SCLC have been conducted in recent years, its clinical treatment strategies have remained unchanged. The treatment of SCLC is still confined to chemotherapy regimens of etoposide plus cisplatin (EP) and other classic treatments because the surgical treatment of SCLC, particularly for IIIa treatment, has yet to reach a consensus. This study investigated the prognostic factors and clinical therapy effect in the comprehensive treatment of IIIa SCLC after surgical treatment.

methodsThis study was conducted through the retrospective analysis of the clinical data of 78 patients with SCLC who underwent surgical treatment in Beijing Chest Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University between January 1995 and December 1995. Through follow-up, we performed statistical analysis of each patient's gender, age, tumor size, lymph node metastasis, tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) staging, surgical methods, and adjuvant radiation and chemotherapy.

resultsThe median survival in this clinical trial team was 13.93 months. Among the participants, 47 patients accepted neoadjuvant chemotherapy and their median survival were 14.25 months. By contrast, 31 patients accepted postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy and their median survival were 13.83 months. No statistical difference was observed between the two groups. Moreover, 28 patients were of single Lymph node metastasis and their median survival was 17.1 months. By contrast, 50 patients were of multiple lymph node metastasis and their median survival was 11.9 months. Significant statistical difference was observed between the two groups (P<0.01).

conclusionsIn performing further evaluation of the status and value of surgical treatment in the comprehensive treatment of SCLC, several patients benefitted from IIIa SCLC surgery with comprehensive treatment.
