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

backgroundThis study estimated avoided recurrences and treatment costs in patients with stage II-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer treated with adjuvant atezolizumab in five European countries over 10 years (2024-2034). MATERIALS &

methodsRecurrences and deaths were projected in the presence and absence of adjuvant atezolizumab. Inputs were from the literature with extrapolation of disease-free survival from the IMpower010 trial. Country-level direct costs of treating recurrences were estimated.

resultsAdjuvant atezolizumab prevented an estimated 4952 recurrences (2199 locoregional, 2753 metastatic) over 10 years (2024-2034), associated with €264 million savings in treatment costs across the five countries.

conclusionAdjuvant atezolizumab may provide a meaningful reduction in recurrences and associated treatment costs among patients with early non-small cell lung cancer in Europe.
