Concurrent chemoradiotherapy using cisplatin and S-1, followed by surgery for stage II/IIIA non-small cell lung cancer.

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.
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
objectivesBecause chemoradiotherapy using cisplatin and S-1, an oral fluoropyrimidine, is effective for unresectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), an induction setting was used in a multicenter phase II study (Clinical trial number: UMIN000008205). The correlations of relapse and clinicopathological factors were analyzed.
methodsWe defined locally advanced NSCLC as pathologically proven chest wall invasion or hilar and/or mediastinal lymph node metastases by endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration. The patients received two courses of S-1 administration for 14 days and intravenous cisplatin injection on day 8. A total dose of 40 Gy radiotherapy was concurrently received. Surgical resection was performed after completion of the treatment.
resultsOf the 23 eligible patients, 18 had stage IIIA and 5 had stage IIB NSCLC. Twenty of the eligible patients (87.0%) completed the regimen. Six (26.1%) complete responses were identified and 12 cases (52.2%) were histopathologically downstaged by induction chemoradiotherapy (ICRT). The 3-year overall survival rate was 58.1% and relapse-free survival (RFS) rate was 52.0%, respectively. Among several clinicopathological parameters, univariate RFS analysis identified that only downstaging was significantly associated with longer RFS times (p = 0.003). The radiological response did not reflect pathological response. When the variables of preoperative pathologically proven N2 metastasis, pathological ICRT effectiveness, and downstaging were included in the Cox proportional hazard modes, only the parameter of downstaging displayed significant hazard ratio (hazard ratio 0.13, p = 0.010).
conclusionThis protocol is considered an option among preoperative therapies and has obvious benefits for pathologically downstaged cases. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: UMIN000008205. TRIAL REGISTRATION DATE: June 19, 2012.
