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

Cohort studies using large-scale databases have become increasingly important in recent years. The Tokushukai Medical Group is a leading medical group in Japan that includes 71 general hospitals nationwide from Hokkaido to Okinawa, with a total of 18,000 beds, and a unified electronic medical record system. This retrospective cohort study aims to evaluate the real-world outcomes of systemic therapy for Japanese patients with cancer using this merit of scale. All adult patients with cancer who received systemic therapy using a centrally registered chemotherapy protocol system at 46 hospitals from April 2010 to March 2020 will be identified (~48,850 patients). Key exclusion criteria include active double cancer and inadequate data extraction. Data will be obtained through electronic medical records, diagnosis procedure combination data, medical prescription data, and the national cancer registration system that includes sociodemographic variables, diagnostic and laboratory tests, concomitant drug prescriptions, cost, and overall survival. Kaplan-Meier estimates will be calculated for time-to-event analyses. Stratified/conventional Cox proportional hazards regression analyses will be conducted to examine the relationships between overall survival and related factors. Our findings provide important insights for future research directions, policy initiatives, medical guidelines, and clinical decision-making.
