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

The expression "lost at sea" means to be confused or perplexed. By extension, lost at SCLC references the current confusion about how to circumvent the chemoresistance, particularly platinum resistance, which so plagues the treatment of extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) that in 2012 the US National Cancer Institute (NCI) designated it a "recalcitrant cancer." Over a decade later, despite the approval of immune checkpoint inhibitors and the conditional approval of lurbinectedin, the prognosis for ES-SCLC, and especially platinum-resistant ES-SCLC, has scarcely improved. The focus of this review, which briefly summarizes current treatment options for ES-SCLC, is on five clinical-stage therapies with the potential to successfully reverse the platinum resistance that is perhaps the biggest obstacle to better clinical outcomes.
