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

The aim of the present study was to detect prognostic factors in patients with skeletal-related events (SREs) and bone metastasis at the time of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) diagnosis. A total of 85 NSCLC patients were retrospectively enrolled, 47 (55.2%) of whom presented with SREs at the time of NSCLC diagnosis. Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified squamous cell carcinoma as a risk factor for SRE. Kaplan-Meier analysis demonstrated that there was no difference in the overall survival between the SRE and no SRE groups. Cox hazard model revealed that a higher Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) score was a risk factor for poor prognosis, while surgery for bone metastasis and molecular-targeted therapy were factors for better prognosis in patients with SREs at the time of NSCLC diagnosis. Multivariate analysis revealed that a higher ECOG PS score and metastasis to the adrenal gland were risk factors for poor prognosis, while surgery for bone metastasis and molecular-targeted therapy were factors for better prognosis. Thus, while surgical treatment and molecular-targeted therapy appear to improve the prognosis of patients with bone metastasis at the time of NSCLC diagnosis, those with a higher ECOG PS score and adrenal metastasis may benefit more from radiotherapy or supportive care.
