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

introductionLong-term analysis of PACIFIC revealed the clinical benefit of chemoradiotherapy combined with Durvalumab for unresectable non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) stage III. ALLSTAR is a prospective registry aimed at validating the PACIFIC regimen in daily practice in Austria. PATIENTS AND

methodsPatients were eligible if they had pathologically confirmed unresectable NSCLC III with a curative treatment option. The endpoints for this analysis were overall survival (OS), updated local control (LC), and progression-free survival (PFS).

resultsThe 2- and 3-year LC rates in patients who received total radiation doses > 66 Gy were 80% and 75%, respectively, which were superior to the standard treatment (65% and 54%;

conclusionThe updated ALLSTAR analysis demonstrated sustained benefit of Durvalumab for OS and PFS, as well as a possible long-term benefit of radiation dose escalation > 66 Gy on LC.
