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

purposeTo evaluate clinical outcomes after SABR in a cohort of early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or pulmonary metastases in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients with forced expiratory volume in the first second predicted (FEV1) ≤ 50%.

methodsRetrospective single-center study was performed to analyze clinical outcomes and toxicities in COPD patients with severe lung dysfunction treated with SABR from 1st June 2015 to 31st October 2022.

resultsThirty four patients (forty locations) were enrolled for analysis. Median follow-up was 2.9 years. Median age was 73.5 years (range, 65.6-80.1). FEV1 was 38% (range, 28.2-50.0) prior to radiotherapy. Median overall survival (OS) was 41.1 months (95% CI 38.9-not reached). OS rates at 2-, 3-, and 5- years were 79%, 71%, and 36%, respectively. Cancer-specific survival rates at 2-, 3-, and 5- years were 96%, 96%, and 68%, respectively. Local control rates at 2-, 3-, and 5- years were 88%, 83%, and 83%, respectively. No grade 4 or 5 toxicity was observed. The most common acute toxicity was pneumonitis (38.2%), of which only 1 patient (2.9%) reported grade 3 acute toxicity.

conclusionsLung SABR in patients with poor pulmonary function may be effective with acceptable toxicity.
