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

BACKGROUND/

aimThe prognostic role of thyroid transcription factor-1 (TTF1) in advanced lung cancer is not clearly established. The present study aimed to evaluate the associations between clinicopathological characteristics, TTF1 expression, and overall survival (OS) of patients with advanced lung adenocarcinoma. MATERIALS AND

methodsOne hundred and seventy-two patients were enrolled in this retrospective study. OS was assessed according to immunohistochemical TTF1 expression in lung adenocarcinoma tissue, age, gender, performance status (PS), smoking history and status, disease stage, tumor differentiation, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation and EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) treatment status.

resultsThe OS time was longer (p<0.001) for patients with TTF1 expression than for patients without TTF1 expression (13.0 vs. 5.0 months, respectively). A multivariate analysis confirmed that worse PS [hazard ratio (HR)=2.13, p<0.001], poor histological differentiation (HR=2.02, p=0.001), wild-type EGFR status (HR=3.08, p<0.001) and negative TTF1 expression (HR=1.97, p=0.001) were independent predictors of worse prognosis.

conclusionTTF1 expression is an independent predictor of survival of patients with advanced lung adenocarcinoma.
