Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer with Malignant Pleural Effusion May Require Primary Tumor Radiotherapy in Addition to Drug Treatment.

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.
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
Purpose: The impact of primary tumour radiotherapy on the prognosis for non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with controlled malignant pleural effusion (MPE-C) (MPE-C-NSCLC) is unclear. This study aimed to analyze the efficacy and safety of primary tumor radiotherapy in patients with MPE-C-NSCLC. Patients and Methods: A total of 186 patients with MPE-C-NSCLC were enrolled and divided into two groups. The patients in the D group were treated with only drugs. Those in the RD group were treated with drugs plus primary tumour radiotherapy. The Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis, and the Log rank test was used for between-group analysis and univariate prognostic analysis. The Cox proportional hazards model was used to perform multivariate analyses to assess the impacts of factors on survival. Propensity score matching (PSM) was matched based on clinical characteristics, systematic drug treatment and drug response to further adjust for confounding factors. Results: The overall survival (OS) rates at 1, 2, and 3 years for the RD group and D group were 54.4%, 26.8%, and 13.3% and 31.1%, 11.5%, and 4.4%, respectively; the corresponding MSTs were 14 months and 8 months, respectively ( Conclusion: For MPE-C-NSCLC, the response of systemic drug treatment plays a crucial role in survival outcomes, and we also should pay attention to primary tumour radiotherapy in addition to systematic drug treatment.
