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

purposeThe study objective was to evaluate chemotherapy treatment patterns and incidence, cost, and resource utilization of febrile neutropenia-related hospitalization (FNH) in patients with breast cancer, lung cancer, and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) from Kaiser Permanente Southern California (KPSC), a large integrated delivery system.

methodsAdults ≥18 years with any stage breast cancer, lung cancer, or NHL who initiated myelosuppressive chemotherapy from 01/01/2006 to 12/31/2009 were included. Chemotherapy dose delays ≥7 days, relative dose intensity (RDI), regimen switching, FNH and all-cause mortality, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) and antibiotic use, and healthcare utilization/cost were evaluated by cancer type, regimen, and/or cycle.

resultsAmong 3314 breast cancer patients, 25.3% received an RDI ≤85%, 13.9% experienced FNH with an all-cause mortality rate of 2.0%, and 20.2% received primary prophylaxis with G-CSF. Among those with FNH, mean hospital length of stay (LOS) was 4.1 days, and mean total costs were $20,462. Among 1443 lung cancer patients, 17.9% had an RDI ≤85%, 8.0% experienced FNH with an all-cause mortality rate of 25.2%, and 4.5% received primary prophylaxis with G-CSF. Among those with FNH, mean LOS was 6.8 days, and mean total costs were $32,964. Among 581 NHL patients, 27.9% had an RDI ≤85% and 22.4% experienced FNH with an all-cause mortality rate of 13%. Among those with FNH, mean LOS was 7.9 days, and mean total costs were $37,555.

conclusionsMarked variability was observed among different cancer types and chemotherapy regimens. Given the variability, detailed insight into incidence, management, and burden of FN can help inform clinical decision making.
