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 combination of cisplatin and gemcitabine is still one of the most frequently used first-line chemotherapy scheme in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), in which tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) cannot be administered. Unfortunately, more than half of the patients have no benefit from chemotherapy but are still exposed to its toxic effects. Therefore, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the genes involved in nucleotide excision repair (NER) mechanism may be a potential predictive factor of efficiency of cytostatic based chemotherapy. The aim of the study was to evaluate the correlation between SNPs of the genes involved in NER mechanism and the effectiveness of chemotherapy based on cisplatin and gemcitabine in patients with advanced NSCLC. The study group included 91 NSCLC patients treated with first-line chemotherapy using cisplatin and gemcitabine. Genotyping was carried out using a mini-sequencing technique (SNaPshot™ PCR). The median progression-free survival (PFS) was significantly shorter in carriers of CC genotype of the XPD/ERCC2 (2251A > C) gene compared to patients with AA/AC genotypes (2 vs. 4.5 months; p = 0.0444; HR = 3.19, 95%CI:1.03-9.91). Rare CC genotype of XPD/ERCC2 gene, may be considered as an unfavorable predictive factor for chemotherapy based on cisplatin and gemcitabine in patients with advanced NSCLC.
