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

BACKGROUND/

aimPrevious studies have suggested the prognostic value of the Lung Immune Prediction Index (LIPI) and the Gustave Roussy Score (GRIM) as prognostic markers in advanced small cell lung cancer (SCLC). However, LIPI and GRIM score have not been evaluated in patients with limited stage SCLC (LS-SCLC). PATIENTS AND

methodsPretreatment LIPI and GRIM score of 33 (43%) patients out of 77 LS-SCLC patients treated with chemoradiotherapy (CRT) during 2004-2015 were included.

resultsThe median overall survival (OS) time in the good, intermediate, and poor LIPI subgroups were 14, 17 and 3 months (p=0.973) and 14, 17 and 17 months in the GRIM subgroups. In univariate analysis, patients age <65 years (p=0.008), concurrent chemotherapy (p=0.028), and administering prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) (p=0.031) were associated with improved OS. Using Cox regression analysis, age remained significant (HR=3.299, p=0.031) and PCI showed a trend (HR=2.801, p=0.06).

conclusionIndependent predictors of overall survival were identified and can contribute to improved treatment personalization. Concurrent chemotherapy and PCI after CRT were associated with improved OS compared to LIPI- and GRIM-score, which had no prognostic impact in LS-SCLC.
