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

objectiveThere are no validated approaches to predict benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy for resected patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The aim of this study was to translate a 15-gene mRNA expression profile published by Zhu

methodsFor seven of the genes in the gene expression profile (GEP) for which suitable commercial antibodies were available, we semiquantitatively assessed the IHC expression and prognostic significance for 173 patients treated at the Saint John Regional Hospital (SJRH). Cut-offs for high and low expression were defined for each marker and applied to IHC scores from 291 of the 482 patients in JBR.10, including patients on both the adjuvant chemotherapy and observation arms. The prognostic and predictive value of these markers on overall survival (OS) or recurrence-free survival (RFS) was assessed by Cox regression models.

resultsIn the SJRH cohort, in 62 patients with resected stage II-III NSCLC, the prognostic significance of IHC assays for four proteins were concordant with Zhu's GEP results. Low FOSL2 (OS, HR=0.15; p=0.0001; RFS, HR=0.14; p<0.0001) and high STMN2 (RFS, HR=2.501; p=0.0197) were adverse prognostic factors. Low ATP1B1 and low TRIM14 expression trended toward worse OS and RFS. Validation of these markers with JBR.10 patients failed to show prognostic significance either individually or in combined risk classifications. Additionally, the interaction between these markers and chemotherapy treatment in predicting OS (FOSL2, p=0.52; STMN2 p=0.14; ATP1B1, p=0.33; TRIM14, p=0.81) or RFS (FOSL2, p=0.63; STMN2, p=0.12; ATP1B1, p=0.66; TRIM14, p=0.57) did not reach significance, individually or in combination panels.

conclusionsZhu's GEP could not be translated into an IHC panel predictive of benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy. Future predictive biomarker analysis in the adjuvant NSCLC setting may need to focus on novel therapies.
