Lymphocyte percentage and platelet count correlate with the treatment outcome to tyrosine kinase inhibitors in epidermal growth factor receptor-mutated lung adenocarcinoma.

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.
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
This observational study evaluated the treatment outcomes of clinical factors on the patients with lung adenocarcinoma with epidermal growth factor receptor mutations who received tyrosine kinase inhibitors as first-line treatment.Patients with stage IIIb or IV lung adenocarcinoma with mutated epidermal growth factor receptor were enrolled retrospectively between March 2010 and December 2017. The hematologic markers on progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were analyzed.Totally 190 patients were enrolled. In univariate analysis by hematologic markers, lower lymphocyte percentage and higher platelet count were associated with significantly poor PFS and OS. Multivariate analysis showed lower lymphocyte percentage was independent poor prognostic factors for PFS and OS. Higher platelet count was an independent poor prognostic factor for OS only.Patients with lung adenocarcinoma receiving tyrosine kinase inhibitors with lower lymphocyte percentage and higher platelet count had poorer prognoses compared with other patients.
