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

In recent years, retrospective analyses have suggested that an oligometastatic state could exist, but the best evidence to date that a temporary oligometastatic disease exists for lung cancer mainly derives from the survival data on retrospective patients underwent surgical resection of a single M1 site and all intrathoracic disease. The critical determinates of long-term survival include definitive treatment of the primary non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), a single organ site of synchronous or metachronous disease, a long disease-free interval between treatment of the primary NSCLC and development of metastases, and the absence of intrathoracic lymph node (N0) disease. The ongoing development of innovative approaches to local therapy and treatment directed to the oligometastatic sites should be defined in future studies.
