Real-World Treatment Patterns and Timeliness of Clinical Care Pathway for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients in Austria: The PRATER Retrospective Study.

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
This was a retrospective study of the profile and initial treatments of adults diagnosed with early-stage (ES) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) during January 2018-December 2021 at 16 leading hospital institutions in Austria, excluding patients enrolled in clinical trials. In total, 319 patients were enrolled at a planned ~1:1:1 ratio across StI:II:III. Most tested biomarkers were programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1; 58% expressing), Kirsten rat sarcoma virus (KRAS; 22% positive), and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR; 18% positive). Of 115/98/106 StI/II/III patients, 82%/85%/36% underwent surgery, followed by systemic therapy in 9%/45%/47% of those [mostly chemotherapy (ChT)]. Unresected treated StIII patients received ChT + radiotherapy [43%; followed by immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in 39% of those], ICI ± ChT (35%), and ChT-alone/radiotherapy-alone (22%). Treatment was initiated a median (interquartile range) of 24 (7-39) days after histological confirmation, and 55 (38-81) days after first medical visit. Based on exploratory analyses of all patients newly diagnosed with any stage NSCLC during 2018-2021 at 14 of the sites (N = 7846), 22%/10%/25%/43% had StI/II/III/IV. The total number was not significantly different between pre-COVID-19 (2018-2019) and study-specific COVID-19 (2020-2021) periods, while StI proportion increased (21% vs. 23%;
