The evolving landscape of adjuvant therapy in T1-T2N0 resected non-small cell lung cancer: a narrative review.
Review in Journal of thoracic disease, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background and Objective: Lung cancer recurrence after complete surgical resection of early-stage T1-T2N0 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains a problem due to unrecognized micrometastatic disease. The objective of this review is to present and summarize data from major randomized trials in which have studied the survival benefit of adjuvant therapy for early-stage NSCLC. Methods: Information used to write this paper was collected from PubMed and the National Clinical Trial registry from the National Library of Medicine. Key Content and findings: Clinical trials that explored the use of adjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy historically have failed to show a benefit to giving adjuvant therapy in this early-stage patient population. Specifically, no survival benefit has been shown in stage IA (T1N0) tumors and stage IB tumors (T2aN0), less than 4 cm in size. As a result, adjuvant chemotherapy is currently recommended for only stage IB (pT2aN0) and IIA (pT2bN0) which are greater than 4 cm in size or have high-risk pathologic features. Newer and more effective treatments including targeted therapy against tumors with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) driver mutants, tumors with anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) rearrangements and immunotherapy have renewed interest in exploring the role of adjuvant therapy among early-stage patients. Three years of adjuvant osimertinib with or without adjuvant chemotherapy has been shown to improve overall survival (OS) in a trial population of IB-IIIA NSCLC patients and is approved for adjuvant use in EGFR mutant early-stage NSCLC. Conclusions: In the future, appropriate patient selection for adjuvant therapy, driven by molecular high-risk features, circulating tumor DNA, or blood-based biomarkers will be important as the majority of early-stage patients are cured with surgical resection alone.
