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

backgroundFew studies have investigated the clinical efficacy of third- and later-line of chemotherapy after standard chemotherapy for previously treated advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We prospectively evaluated the efficacy and safety of nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel (nab-paclitaxel) following standard chemotherapies for previously treated advanced NSCLC.

methodsThe eligible patients having adequate organ functions with performance status 0-2 were enrolled after completing standard chemotherapy. They received weekly nab-paclitaxel 100 mg/m

resultsThis trial was discontinued because of late accrual. Twenty two patients were enrolled from April 2013 and February 2019. The total ORR was 22.7% [95% CI 7.8-45.4] and disease control rate (DCR) was 81.8% [95% CI 59.7-94.8]. Median PFS was 3.4 months [95% CI 2.3-4.1] and median OS was 7.4 months [95% CI 4.2-10.7]. Median follow-up interval was 6.7 months hematological AEs of Grade 3/4 included anemia (18%), leukopenia (18%), and neutropenia (32%), while the most frequent nonhematological AEs were fatigue (50%) and peripheral neuropathy (36.4%). Severe AEs related to treatment were observed in only one patient.

conclusionNab-paclitaxel may be a safe and effective later-line chemotherapeutic option for previously treated advanced NSCLC after standard of chemotherapies based on other trials.
