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

purposeThe aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for pulmonary lesions in oligometastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, to explore prognostic factors of progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS), to validate improved survival contributed by SBRT in oligometastatic NSCLC patients. PATIENTS AND

methodsA total of 71 oligometastatic NSCLC patients with 86 pulmonary lesions treated with SBRT in our institute between 2012 and 2018 were included. Local control (LC), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) were calculated using Kaplan-Meier method. Prognostic factors of PFS and OS were analyzed using univariate and multivariate Cox analyses. Subgroup analyses were performed to investigate the impact of SBRT on PFS and OS during first line systemic treatment.

resultsAfter a median follow-up of 17.6 months, 2-year LC and OS rates were 82.6% and 55.3%, respectively. No grade 4 or more toxicities were observed. Multivariate analysis showed systemic treatment regimen before SBRT was an independent prognostic factor of PFS, but not for OS. Among this cohort, patients receiving first line target therapy could show a better PFS and OS than those undergoing first line chemotherapy (target therapy vs chemotherapy, PFS, 26.4 m vs 6.9 m; OS, 34.8 m vs 15.5 m).

conclusionsSBRT for pulmonary lesions was a feasible and tolerable option for oligometastatic NSCLC patients. Delivery of SBRT for pulmonary lesions improved outcomes of oligometastatic NSCLC patients. Finally, SBRT combined with first line target therapy might have optimal outcomes.
