Genetic variants as predictors of toxicity and response in patients with non-small cell lung cancer undergoing first-line platinum-based chemotherapy: Design of the multicenter PGxLUNG study.
Article in Thoracic cancer, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
introductionPlatinum-based chemotherapy is currently the most frequently applied first-line treatment for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) without targetable mutations or high PD-L1 expression. Unfortunately, chemotherapy-induced toxicity is prevalent and may affect patients' quality of life to a considerable extent. Presumably, genetic variants of genes, coding for proteins involved in the processes of the development of toxicity, may be of interest as predictors of benefits and harms of platinum-based chemotherapy. The primary objective of the study is to investigate the influence of genetic variants on the incidence of chemotherapy-induced toxicity in patients with NSCLC undergoing first-line platinum-based chemotherapy. The main secondary objectives are to study the association between genetic variants and treatment response and to study the association between skeletal muscle mass (SMM) as well as patient-reported health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and treatment response and toxicity.
methodsIn this multicenter prospective follow-up study, a total of 350 patients with NSCLC (stage II-IV) undergoing first-line platinum-based chemotherapy will be included. Blood samples for DNA isolation and genotyping, questionnaires and data on patients risk factors and disease stage will be recorded. The primary endpoint is chemotherapy-induced (non-)hematological toxicity, comprising; nephrotoxicity, neuropathy, esophagitis, ototoxicity, pneumonitis, gastrointestinal toxicity, anemia, leukocytopenia, neutropenia and thrombocytopenia. Secondary endpoints include dose-limiting toxicity, HRQOL, and treatment response (radiological response [RECIST 1.1] and overall survival [OS]). DISCUSSION: Results of the PGxLUNG study will be primarily used to determine the influence of genetic variants on the incidence of chemotherapy-induced toxicity in patients with NSCLC undergoing first-line platinum-based chemotherapy.
