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.

Abstract

backgroundThe role of perfusion computed tomography (pCT) in detecting changes in tumor vascularization as part of a response to antiangiogenic therapy in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains unclear.

methodsIn this prospective pilot study (IMPACT trial, NCT02316327), we aimed to determine the ability of pCT to detect early changes in blood flow (BF), blood volume (BV), and permeability (PMB), and to explore whether these changes could predict the response at day +42 in patients with advanced, treatment-naive, non-squamous NSCLC treated with cisplatin and gemcitabine plus bevacizumab.

resultsAll of the perfusion parameters showed a consistent decrease during the course of treatment. The BV difference between baseline and early assessment was significant (

conclusionsOur results confirm that pCT can capture early changes in tumor vasculature. A substantial early decline of BV from baseline might identify tumors less likely responsive to antiangiogenic-drugs.
