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

purposeThe primary therapeutic objective for patients with resectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the prevention of disease relapse. This study aimed to examine the correlation between perioperative circulating tumor cell (CTC) variations and disease relapse. MATERIALS AND

methodsNinety-nine patients with resectable NSCLC were enrolled and classified into cohort 0-1a and cohort 1b-4 on the basis of the presence of lymph node metastasis. CTC levels were measured, and their correlation with disease-free survival was analyzed.

resultsIn cohort 0-1a, patients with a CTC count difference between postoperative day 3 and postoperation of <2.75, and a difference between postoperative day 3 and postoperation day 1 of <-0.25, showed no disease relapse. In cohort 1b-4, patients with a CTC count difference between postoperative day 3 and postoperation ≥6.25 had the highest risk of relapse, with all patients experiencing relapse within 2 years. For those with a difference <6.25, most relapses were identified within 2 years postoperation.

conclusionThe proposed relapse prediction model effectively identified patients with no risk for disease relapse in cohort 0-1a and those with the highest risk for relapse in cohort 1b-4. These results may assist physicians in focusing on and prescribing adjuvant treatment for patients with a higher relapse risk.
