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

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a very aggressive malignancy characterized by high cellular proliferation and early metastatic spread. In fact, although SCLC is a chemosensitive and radiosensitive disease, the initial responsiveness to chemotherapy is usually followed by development of resistance and the prognosis remains poor with a median survival of less than 12 months in patients with extensive disease (ED-SCLC). Furthermore, no significant progress has been made over the last years, with no newly approved drug. For all these reasons, SCLC represents for the oncologists a major challenge and an exciting field of clinical research. In this review, we analyze the most promising advances in development for SCLC with a special focus on antiangiogenic treatments, immunotherapy, novel chemotherapeutic and targeted agents.
