Marital status and survival in patients with non-small cell lung cancer: an analysis of 70006 patients in the SEER database.

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.
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
Marital status has been demonstrated to be related to the survival of patients in various cancer types, but the relationship in the large population of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has rarely been studied. In this study, we retrospectively extracted 70006 eligible NSCLC patients from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database in the period from 2004 to 2012. Marital status was categorized as married, divorced/separated, widowed, and never married. Chi-square tests were used to investigate the association between marital status and other variables. The Kaplan-Meier test was adopted to compare survival curves of different groups. Multivariate Cox regression analyses were conducted to estimate the effect of marital status on overall survival (OS) and NSCLC cause-specific survival (CSS). We further performed subgroup analyses according to TNM stage and surgery condition. The results showed that marital status was an independent prognostic factor for OS and CSS of NSCLC patients. Subgroup analyses showed that the relationship between marital status and prognosis varies according to different conditions. Widowed patients with surgery were at greater risk of death across all stages and non-surgical unmarried patients at advanced stages suffered poorer prognosis than the married. To conclude, in the NSCLC patients, married patients had advantage over the unmarried in both OS and CSS.
