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

objectiveTo determine the short-term prognostic value of Computed Tomography (CT) perfusion parameters in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after chemotherapy.

methodsA total of 60 patients with NSCLC who received concurrent radiotherapy and chemotherapy were enrolled. Before therapy, CT perfusion imaging was conducted to scan their local lesions. Then, the CT perfusion-associated parameters were recorded, and evaluated. According to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST), 42 out of 60 patients had remission after chemotherapy. The blood flow (BF), blood volume (BV), and permeability surface (PS) of the two groups were analyzed before therapy, and factors and parameters affecting the efficacy of concurrent radiotherapy and chemotherapy were discussed.

resultsAfter chemotherapy, patients with remission showed lower BF, BV, and PS levels in pulmonary lesions than those without remission (all P<0.05). According to the 1-year follow-up results, 33 cases survived, and 27 cases died, and the survivors showed lower BF and PS levels than the dead (both P<0.05).

conclusionPatients with lower BF and PS in CT perfusion parameters obtained better chemotherapy efficacy, so BF and PS can be adopted to predict the survival of patients.
