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

backgroundThe benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy for IB/IIA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients remains uncertain. This study aimed to develop a prognostic model to predict overall survival in resected NSCLC patients with T1-2N0-1M0 stage and identify optimal candidates for postoperative chemotherapy among those with stage IB or IIA disease.

methodsWe conducted a retrospective study using the SEER 18 database (2000-2018, November 2020 submission) of patients who underwent radical surgery for T1-2N0-1M0 NSCLC. The patients not receiving adjuvant chemotherapy were randomly divided into training and validation cohorts. A prognostic nomogram was established and evaluated using calibration and receiver operating characteristic curves. Based on the nomogram, stage IB and IIA patients were categorized into two prognostic groups, each further divided into cohorts based on adjuvant chemotherapy status. Kaplan-Meier analysis and log-rank tests were used to compare overall survival between these groups.

resultsA total of 14 789 patients were enrolled and randomly assigned to the training cohort (n = 10 352) and validation cohort (n = 4437). Ten independent prognostic factors were identified and integrated into the prognostic model. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was .706, .699, and .705 in the training cohort, and .700, .698, and .695 in the validation cohort at 1, 3, and 5 years, respectively. Among stage IB and IIA patients, only those in the high-risk group showed a significant benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy, with a 16.4% absolute increase in 5-year overall survival.

conclusionsThe nomogram developed in the study may help physicians choose the most appropriate management strategy for each patient.
