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

backgroundA retrospective study was conducted to assess the efficacy and toxicity of lobaplatin-etoposide (EL) chemotherapy for small cell lung cancer (SCLC).

methodsThe clinical data of 50 patients treated in our department from May 2014 to March 2018 were obtained. Untreated patients with SCLC administered LBP intravenously (IV) at 30 mg/m

resultsThe median overall and progression-free survival rates of the 50 patients were 11.67 (range: 7.30-16.04) and 6.8 (range: 5.25-8.35) months, respectively, with an overall response rate of 66% and a disease control rate of 90%. The most frequent drug-related adverse effects were leukopenia and neutropenia, and no grade 3/4 hepatotoxicity or nephrotoxicity was observed.

conclusionThese results indicate that LBP-containing chemotherapy is effective and tolerable for SCLC in terms of response and survival.
