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

BACKGROUND/

aimPemetrexed plus platinum followed by pemetrexed maintenance has been one of the standard first-line treatments in advanced nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but little is known regarding its safety and efficacy for patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD). PATIENTS AND

methodsThe medical records of 24 patients with advanced nonsquamous NSCLC and preexisting ILD who received pemetrexed and platinum doublet therapy with and without pemetrexed maintenance in the first-line setting between December 2009 and June 2016, were retrospectively reviewed.

resultsThe median progression-free survival time was 4.7 months, and the median overall survival time was 9.5 months. Of the 24 patients analyzed, six received pemetrexed maintenance. Acute exacerbation of ILD (AE-ILD) occurred in five (20.8 %) of 24 patients, including two fatal cases.

conclusionThe treatment with pemetrexed plus platinum has a high risk of AE-ILD in patients with advanced nonsquamous NSCLC and preexisting ILD.
