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

objectiveStage III disease accounts for approximately one-fourth of all non-metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The patients who are not candidates for curative resection are offered concomitant chemoradiotherapy. In this subgroup, which is difficult to manage, studies that address the role of PET-CT to predict outcome measures specifically for stage III NSCLC receiving concurrent chemoradiotherapy may help better risk stratification. This study aimed to assess whether baseline PET maximum standardized uptake value (SUV

methodsThe study population consisted of patients aged 18 years or more with unresectable stage III histologically or cytologically proven NSCLC who received concurrent chemoradiotherapy. From 2007 to 2014, medical records of patients admitted to our institution were retrospectively analyzed. Pretreatment PET-CT SUV

resultsA total of 175 patients were analyzed. The median follow-up time was 23 months (range 6-109). The PET-CT SUV

conclusionThe results of this study involving patients with stage III NSCLC receiving concurrent chemoradiotherapy provide evidence that suggests that high values of pretreatment SUV
