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

backgroundHigh ERCC1 expression is thought to be related with resistance to chemotherapy based on platinum. The aim of this study was to present our institutional observations regarding to the association of ERCC1 and overall survival (OS) of the lung adenocarcinoma patients who received chemotherapy based on platinum. MATERIAL/

methodsA total of 253 lung adenocarcinoma patients in all TNM stages were retrospectively investigated. The diagnosis was based on small biopsy samples obtained during bronchoscopy. Depending on the TNM stage of the disease and clinical condition, patients received only the chemotherapy based on platinum, or in combination with radiotherapy or surgery. Tissue sample for ERCC1 immunohistochemical analysis was sufficient in 129 patients. Low from high ERCC1 expression was separated by the semi-quantitative H-score median.

resultsHigh ERCC1 expression was found in 47.3% patients, and was correlated with higher TNM (p = 0.021), tumor enlargement (p = 0.002), positive lymph nodes (p = 0.001), positive distant metastasis (p = 0.005), and higher relative risk of death (p < 0.001). Furthermore, significance association was observed for low ERCC1 expression and better performance status (ECOG) (p = 0.023). Longer OS was strongly associated with a low ERCC1 expression, not only in the group of patients in TNM stage I-III, who were treated with combination of chemotherapy with surgery or radiotherapy (p = 0.002), but also in the group of patients in TNM stage IV who received only chemotherapy based on platinum (p < 0.001), compared with the patients in the same TNM stage and high ERCC1 expression.

conclusionsERCC1 expression in lung adenocarcinoma is a useful prognostic marker and moreover, a useful predictive marker in patients receiving chemotherapy based on platinum in all stages of the disease.
