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

backgroundHigh-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is a pro-inflammatory protein associated with the pathophysiology of lung injury and lung tumorigenesis. Here, we investigated the predictive potential of serum HMGB1 levels for radiation pneumonitis in patients with lung cancer.

methodsThis was a retrospective biomarker study of 73 patients with non-small cell lung cancer treated with definitive thoracic radiotherapy between August 2007 and January 2021. We measured HMGB1 levels in serum stored before treatment, and analyzed its association with the development of grade ≥ 2 or grade ≥ 3 radiation pneumonitis. Additionally, baseline characteristics affecting HMGB1 levels were identified.

resultsOf the 73 patients, 21 (28.8%) and 6 (8.2%) patients experienced grade 2 and ≥ 3 radiation pneumonitis, respectively. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses revealed that higher baseline levels of serum HMGB1 were significantly associated with a higher risk of grade ≥ 3, but not grade ≥ 2, radiation pneumonitis. The incidence of grade ≥ 3 radiation pneumonitis was higher in patients with HMGB1 levels ≥ 6.2 ng/mL than in those with levels < 6.2 ng/mL (25.0% vs. 3.5%, p = 0.019). Baseline serum levels of HMGB1 were independently and positively associated with gross tumor volume.

conclusionsHigher serum HMGB1 levels were significantly associated with the risk of grade ≥ 3 radiation pneumonitis in patients with lung cancer, and therefore, HMGB1 could be a potential blood biomarker for predicting severe radiation pneumonitis.
