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

Metastatic cancer patients generally respond well to treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). However, TKI resistance occurs in almost all cases and often leads to a change in treatment. Recent guidelines, including thyroid cancer, raised the possibility of locally treating TKI-resistant oligoprogressive disease, i.e., one or a few progressing lesions in an otherwise treatment-responsive metastatic cancer, thereby obviating the need to change the ongoing TKI. To determine the benefits of this intervention, we reviewed studies on the use of LAT for TKI-treated oligoprogressive cancers. We found that in non-small cell lung cancer at least, LAT prolongs disease control and the duration of exposure to a TKI irrespective of the LAT used. Moreover, we reviewed the local ablative therapies (LATs) that are feasible for the local control of oligoprogressive thyroid cancer. Lastly, we report two illustrative cases of patients with oligoprogressive thyroid cancer treated with two different LATs while on therapy with TKIs. Both LATs extended the duration of disease control and the time of exposure to the ongoing TKI, thereby indicating that LAT is a favorable option for TKI-treated oligoprogressive thyroid cancer. Prospective randomized studies are needed to verify the benefit of LATs in terms of progression-free and overall survival in this increasingly frequent clinical setting.
