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

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), which represents 80-85% of lung cancer cases, is one of the leading causes of human death worldwide. The majority of patients undergo an intensive and invasive treatment regimen, which may include radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, or a combination of these, depending on disease stage and performance status. Despite advances in therapeutic regimens, the 5-year survival of NSCLC is approximately 20-30%, largely due to diagnosis at advanced stages. Conventional chemotherapy is still the standard treatment option for patients with NSCLC, especially those with advanced disease. However, the emergence of resistance to chemotherapeutic agents (chemoresistance) poses a significant obstacle to the management of patients with NSCLC. Therefore, to develop efficacious chemotherapeutic approaches for NSCLC, it is necessary to understand the mechanisms underlying chemoresistance. Several mechanisms are known to mediate chemoresistance. These include altered cellular targets for chemotherapy, decreased cellular drug concentrations, blockade of chemotherapy-induced cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, acquisition of epithelial-mesenchymal transition and cancer stem cell-like phenotypes, deregulated expression of microRNAs, epigenetic modulation, and the interaction with tumor microenvironments. In this review, we summarize the mechanisms underlying chemoresistance and tumor recurrence in NSCLC and discuss potential strategies to avoid or overcome chemoresistance.
