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), a commonly diagnosed lung cancer, is characterized by a high incidence of metastatic spread to the brain, which adversely impacts prognosis. The present study aimed to assess the value of combined dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in predicting the treatment outcomes of whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT) and gefitinib in brain metastases from non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) from the perspectives of response rate and short- and long-term efficacy. These results suggested that the indicators measured by DCE-MRI combined with DWI can be used as key imaging-derived markers that predicted the efficacy of WBRT combined with gefitinib in NSCLC patients with brain metastases. Specifically, patients with higher ΔADC
