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

purposeThis study was conducted to investigate the efficacy and toxicity of combination treatment with intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and concurrent chemotherapy with paclitaxel plus different platinum agents in locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).

methodsThis retrospective study enrolled 242 patients treated with paclitaxel (135 mg/m

resultsNo significant differences were observed among the CP, NP, LP, and OP groups with regard to 3-year survival rates (46.2, 56.4, 45.7, and 29.0%, respectively). A stratified analysis indicated that 3-year survival rates were significantly lower in the OP group. Renal toxicities and gastrointestinal reactions were more frequent in the CP group than in the other three groups. Three-year survival rates were similar among patients receiving 2, 3, or ≥4 cycles of chemotherapy (40.1, 49.5, and 50.8%, respectively). Multivariate analysis indicated that tumor volume and maximum diameter of metastatic lymph nodes might be independent prognostic factors.

conclusionPaclitaxel plus nidaplatinum or lobaplatin is recommended in locally advanced ESCC due to their satisfying therapeutic effects and less toxicity. Tumor volume and maximum diameter of metastatic lymph nodes are independent prognostic factors in ESCC patients receiving IMRT and concurrent chemotherapy.
