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

Background and Objective: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for 80% of lung cancers and is the most common non-cutaneous cancer world-wide. In NSCLC, oligometastatic and oligoprogressive disease (OPD) have been recognized as separate entities within the realm of metastatic disease and are emerging concepts in the context of targeted systemic therapies. Our objectives are to discuss the current literature regarding the evolving definitions of OPD in the context of oligometastatic disease (OMD) for NSCLC. Further, to discuss current and future clinical trials that have shaped our local approach with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT)/stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR). Methods: Literature on OPD in NSCLC and local ablative therapy (LAT) including SBRT/SABR and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) was reviewed. Key Content and Findings: Oligoprogression is defined as limited (usually 3-5) metastatic areas progressing while on/off systemic therapy in the background of oligometastatic or polymetastatic disease. Prognosis in OPD with treatment (such as LAT and systemic therapy) may be more favorable. Outcomes for patients progressing on tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) with molecular mutations [such as epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)] who receive LAT are promising. Conclusions: Patients presenting with NSCLC metastasis with progression at a limited number of sites on/off a given line of systemic therapy may have favorable outcomes with aggressive LAT, which includes SBRT/SABR/SRS. Further studies need to be completed to further optimize treatment recommendations.
