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

introductionStage IV non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) with oligometastases is potentially curable by radical treatment. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of chemoradiotherapy (CRT) for thoracic disease, including the primary lesion and lymph node metastases, combined with local consolidative therapy (LCT) for oligometastases.

methodsThis was a multicenter Phase II trial for patients with Stage IV NSCLC with oligometastases for whom CRT for thoracic disease was feasible. The treatment procedures included CRT containing platinum-doublet for thoracic disease and LCT for oligometastases within 8 weeks of starting or completing CRT. The primary endpoint was the 2-year survival rate.

resultsWe enrolled 19 patients between June 2016 and May 2020. The median age was 68 (range: 51-74) years. Twelve patients had adenocarcinoma, and 6 had squamous cell carcinoma. The metastasis sites included the brain, bone, adrenal gland, lung, and cervical lymph node (n = 9, 7, 2, 1, and 1, respectively). All patients completed CRT concurrently with LCT for all oligometastases. There were 11 partial responses, resulting in a response rate of 58% (95% confidence interval [CI] 33.5-79.7%). Median progression-free survival and overall survival were 8.6 (95% CI 7.0-10.2) and 42.1 (80% CI 13.6-not reached) months, respectively. The 2-year survival rate was 68.4% (80% CI 52.6%-79.9%). Fourteen patients (74%) showed progression with newly observed lesions. There were no severe adverse events, and toxicities were tolerable.

conclusionChemotherapy in combination with aggressive LCT for NSCLC with oligometastases might extend survival and achieve local control. CLINICAL
