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

Approximately one-third of all non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are locally-advanced at diagnosis, and 15-17% of these tumors are unresectable at presentation. Definitive chemo-radiotherapy (CRT) represents the standard therapeutic approach. However, the literature has shown that only 15% of patients are alive at 5 years and this percentage has remained unchanged despite various attempts of improvement. The recent introduction of immunotherapy has not only strongly changed the clinical scenario but has also drawn attention to a stage of disease apparently forgotten for decades. Stage III NSCLC can represent an interesting setting for the combined use of chemo-radiation and immunotherapy, due to the potential synergistic effect between radiation and immune checkpoint inhibitors. We reviewed the available literature in order to report the state of art of stage III NSCLC, by focusing on trials that evaluate different combinations of CRT and new drugs of PD-1/PD-L1 axis, and anti-CTLA-4. The future goal in the management of unresectable stage III NSCLC will be the optimal patients' selection combined with the use of individualized immuno/chemotherapies that could potentially improve clinical outcomes.
