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

purposeHyponatremia and bone metastasis (BMs) are known as negative prognostic factors in patients affected by metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Hyponatremia is associated with higher risk of osteoporosis and bone fracture, but no data are available about the relationship between hyponatremia and bone metastasis. This study aims to analyze the prognostic impact of hyponatremia in NSCLC patients with bone metastases.

methodsWe retrospectively collected data about advanced NSCLC patients. Survival curves were estimated using Kaplan-Meier method, and comparisons were made using chi-square test.

resultsSix hundred forty-seven patients were enrolled into the study. BMs were present in 264 patients (41%) at diagnosis, while hyponatremia appeared in 237 (37%) patients during the first-line treatment. Patients without BMs had a median overall survival (mOS) of 15.9 months (95% CI 14.1-17.9) versus 11.4 months (95% CI 9.4-13.4) for patients with BMs (p = 0.001). Eunatremic patients had a better outcome (mOS 16.3 months, 95% CI 14.6-18.0 vs 10.3 months, 95% I 7.6-12.8, p = 0.003). Considering the two variables, patients with BMs and hyponatremia had a mOS of 10.1 months (95% CI 4.3-15.9), patients with hyponatremia without BMs 11.9 months (95% CI 11.4-12.4), while mOS was 13.1 months (95% CI 12.0-14.2) for eunatremic patients with BMs versus 17.1 months (95% CI 15.2-19.1) in eunatremic patients without BMs (p = 0.0020). Hyponatremic patients developed metachronous BMs significantly earlier (3.73 vs 5.76 months, p = 0.0187).

conclusionsOur study showed that hyponatremia is an important prognostic factor and it should be necessarily considered to enhance the management of NSCLC patients with BMs.
