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

backgroundTo explore the efficacy and patterns of treatment failure of radical radiotherapy in newly diagnosed oligo-metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients.

methodsWe included 39 newly diagnosed oligo-metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients who received radical radiotherapy and chemotherapy in Zhejiang Cancer Hospital. Treatment and prognosis information were collected. The Kaplan-Meier methods and Cox proportional hazards models were used to calculate survival rates and analyze prognostic factors.

resultsAfter a median follow-up time of 38 months, the 1-, 3-, and 5-year overall survival rates were 97, 70, and 57.9%, while the 1-, 3-, and 5-year progression-free survival rates were 87, 59, and 50.9%, respectively. Age, numbers of metastases lesions, cycles, and schemes of chemotherapy were independent prognostic factors of the overall survival. Patients with no more than three metastasis lesions had a higher survival rate than those with ≥ 3 metastatic lesions (P = 0.023). More than four cycles chemotherapy provide a higher survival rate than less than four cycles. Chemotherapy including docetaxel had a significantly survival advantages (P = 0.041).

conclusionRadical radiotherapy is important for newly diagnosed oligo-metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients, which can still achieve long-term survival after chemo-radiotherapy.
