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

Patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are prone to brain metastases (BM), which essentially include brain parenchymal metastases (PM) and leptomeningeal metastases (LM). We conducted a retrospective study to comprehensively assess the clinical characteristics and risk factors of patients with advanced NSCLC who develop PM and LM. Patients with advanced NSCLC were enrolled. These patients were then divided into three groups for analysis: patients without BM (No-BM), patients with PM and patients with LM. Data on clinical characteristics of each patient at the time of diagnosis advanced NSCLC were extracted and analyzed. In addition, prediction models were developed and evaluated for PM and LM. A total of 592 patients were enrolled in the study. BM was present in 287 patients (48.5%). Among them, 185 and 102 patients had PM or LM. Patients with LM had a higher proportion of EGFR exon 21point mutations (L858R) compared to patients with No-BM and PM (p < 0.0001). The median time to the onset of PM and LM from the diagnosis of advanced NSCLC was 0 months and 8.3 months, respectively. Patients with LM had a statistically shorter over survival (OS) compared to either No-BM or PM patients (p < 0.0001). Based on independent predictive variables, two nomogram models were constructed to predict the development of PM and LM in advanced NSCLC patients, and the C-indexes were 0.656 and 0.767, respectively. Although both considered as BM, PM and LM had different clinical characteristics. And the nomogram showed good performance in predicting LM development, but not PM.
