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

backgroundSurvival rates among non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) stage IIIA (N2) patients are generally low and depend on the treatment. PATIENTS AND

methodsWe aimed to identify predictive markers for long term survival in responders and non-responders to chemotherapy, analyzing tumour and non-tumour samples by microarray (n=35) and whole exome sequencing (WES, n=25).

resultsWES data showed correlation of overall survival of all patients with rs9905892 in the SLFN12L gene. High frequency of mutations (4/6, 66.7%) was identified in members of SWI/SNF complex in responder patients and in patients that were alive after seven years. Microarray data for immune components showed that VISTA (VSIR) was down-regulated in tumoral tissue.

conclusionOur research suggests that mutations in SWI/SNF complex associate with long term survival after multimodal treatment, while down-regulation of VISTA might indicate its immunomodulatory role in NSCLC stage III (N2) patients.
