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 development of new treatments beyond first-line in metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) contributed to the increase in overall survival. Metronomic chemotherapy involves several mechanisms of anti-tumor with less toxicity. Oral vinorelbine has paved the way for innovative treatment strategies through metronomic regimens. Therefore, this study assessed the efficacy and safety of metronomic oral vinorelbinen in advanced NSCLC after failure to multiple-lines treatments.

methodsOur retrospective study enrolled 26 patients who received metronomic oral vinorelbinen. Survival factors were evaluated by univariate regression analysis.

resultsThe median follow-up time was 4 months (range 2-12). The median number of treatment cycles was 2 (range 1-8). No patient achieved complete remission, 2 cases (8%) partial remission, 11 cases (42%) stable disease, 13 cases (50%) progression disease. Overall response rate was 8% and disease control rate was 50%. The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 2 months. In univariate analysis, patients with performance status (PS)=1 had a statistically significantly longer PFS than patients with PS=2. Gender, age, smoking status and histology were not prognostic factors according to PFS. Treatment was well tolerated with rare serious toxicity. No grade 4 adverse events (AEs) or occurrences of intolerable toxicity were observed. There was no treatment-related death and none of the study patients required hospitalization for treatment-related adverse events.

conclusionsMetronomic oral vinorelbinen is effective in advanced NSCLC after the failure of multiple lines treatments with an acceptable AE profile, especially in patients with high PS.
