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

We conducted a Phase II study to evaluate the usefulness of compensator-based non-coplanar intensity-modulated radiotherapy (ncIMRT) for patients with surgically inaccessible Stage I non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Patients with pathologically proven or clinically diagnosed surgically inaccessible Stage I NSCLC were enrolled in this study from May 2011 to April 2014. These patients underwent ncIMRT of 75 Gy in 30 fractions regardless of the tumor location. The primary end point was 3-year overall survival, and the secondary end points were local control rate and treatment-related toxicities. A total of 48 patients (50 tumors) were enrolled in this study. Of the 50 tumors, the Stage T1 to T2 ratio was 31 to 19, and the ratio of tumors located in the central to peripheral areas was 11 to 39. During the median follow-up time of 35.9 months, the 3-year actuarial local progression-free and overall survival rates were 82.6% and 87.1%, respectively. No patients experienced toxicities of Grade 3 or greater. Standard-fractionated ncIMRT was effective and safe for patients with surgically inaccessible stage I NSCLC, regardless of the tumor location.
