Performance-Status Deterioration during Sequential Chemo-Radiotherapy as a Predictive Factor in Locally Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.

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
The role of sequential chemoradiotherapy in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who are not eligible for concurrent therapy has not been clearly defined. The aim of this study was to determine the usefulness of Karnofsky performance status (KPS) monitoring and to define the factors determining clinical deterioration during sequential chemoradiotherapy in patients treated from July 2009 to October 2014. The study included 196 patients. The clinical stage was defined as III A in 94 patients (48%) and III B in 102 patients (52%). Reduced KPS was found in 129 patients (65.8%). Baseline KPS had no significant prognostic significance. Deterioration of KPS during chemoradiotherapy was observed in 53 patients (27%) and had a negative predictive value for both worse-progression free survival (HR = 1.44; 95% CI: 1.03-1.99;
