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

objectivesTo investigate the clinical significance of dynamic alteration of serum lipids in limited stage small cell lung cancer (LS-SCLC) patients and the risk that different lipid profiles poses to patients' health.

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed the variation trends and prognostic values of serum lipids in 310 LS-SCLC patients who had received standard chemotherapy between 2002 and 2017. In addition to serum lipid level, which were measured at the time of pretreatment, after-chemotherapy and during disease progression and later analyzed, the dynamic lipid alteration trend and its correlation to progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were also statistically analyzed using Log-rank test and COX regression analyses.

resultsA significant decrease in HDL-C level was observed after standard chemotherapy (Post-CT baseline = -0.08 ± 0.34,

conclusionOverall, for LS-SCLC patients, standard chemotherapy decreases the level of HDL-C, the level of increase in LDL-C could predict disease progression and even the number of progression sites, and LDL-C elevation could be an independent prognostic factor for poor OS and PFS.
