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

Introduction: Previous studies reported an association between immune checkpoint inhibitor infusion timing and the treatment effect in metastatic NSCLC. The present study assessed the association between durvalumab infusion timing and survival outcomes in patients with locally advanced NSCLC. Methods: Patients receiving durvalumab after chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced NSCLC at a single institution were retrospectively analyzed, and the association of the proportion of durvalumab infusions greater than or equal to 20% versus less than 20% after 3 PM with progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival was assessed. Results: A total of 82 patients were included, with a median age of 69 years (interquartile range, 62-74 years); of these, 67 patients (82%) were of male sex, and 78 patients (95%) had a history of smoking. The median number of durvalumab infusions per patient was 16 (interquartile range, 8-24). Patients with at least 20% of their durvalumab infusions after 3 PM (n = 12/82, 15%) had a significantly shorter PFS than those who did not (median: 7.4 mo versus not available [NA]; hazard ratio [HR], 2.43; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.11-5.34, Conclusions: The time of day of durvalumab infusions may impact survival outcomes in patients with locally advanced NSCLC.
