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

backgroundThe study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of weekly intravenous nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel (NAB-paclitaxel) treatment in patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have undergone multi-line therapy, and to investigate the association of secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine (SPARC) expression status with clinical outcome.

methodsSixty-four patients who received NAB-paclitaxel treatment (130 mg/m

resultsSixty-two patients had response evaluation and complete survival follow-up data; 83.9% received the weekly NAB-paclitaxel as fourth-line treatment or beyond. The objective response and disease control rates (n = 62) were 16.1% (10/62) and 64.5% (40/62), respectively. The median progression-free and overall survival rates were 3.7 (95% confidence interval 2.6-4.8) and 9.8 months (95% confidence interval 6.9-12.8), respectively. Previous treatment with taxane did not affect the response to NAB-paclitaxel. The main grade 3-4 toxicities experienced were neutropenia (9.4%) and leukopenia (7.8%). Patients with SPARC expression in tumor stroma but not in cancer cells had poorer progression-free survival compared with those with negative SPARC expression in tumor stroma cells (3.3 vs. 5.0 months, P = 0.036).

conclusionWeekly NAB-paclitaxel might be effective for heavily pretreated NSCLC patients. SPARC expression in tumor stroma cells might be a potential negative predictor of NAB-paclitaxel.
