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

backgroundSurvivors of adolescent and young adult (AYA, ages 15-39 years at diagnosis) cancer are at increased risk for subsequent malignant neoplasms (SMN), of which lung cancer is the most lethal. Factors contributing to lung SMN development and outcomes are not well characterized.

methodsSurvivors of AYA cancer diagnosed between 1998 and 2020 were identified in the California Cancer Registry (n = 251,632). Pearson's χ2 and Fisher's exact tests were used to determine associations between sociodemographic and cancer characteristics and SMN status. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression, adjusting for age, time from primary diagnosis, race/ethnicity, insurance, primary cancer site, stage, and treatment, evaluated associations between these characteristics and the incidence and mortality of lung cancer as first SMN.

resultsA total of 675 (0.7%) survivors were diagnosed with lung SMN, of whom 487 (72.1%) died. The median time from primary diagnosis to lung SMN was 13.0 years (IQR 4.0-20.0 years). Nearly half (46.5%) of survivors with lung SMN had metastatic disease. Non-Hispanic Black survivors were more likely than non-Hispanic White survivors to develop lung SMN [adjusted HR (aHR) = 1.47; 95% confidence interval (95% CI), 1.13-1.91] but were not more likely to die from lung SMN (aHR = 0.84; 95% CI, 0.56-1.27). Primary cancer treatment with both chemotherapy and radiation was associated with a greater likelihood of lung SMN (aHR = 1.41; 95% CI, 1.11-1.80) compared with receiving neither.

conclusionsLung SMN has a long latency and high mortality among survivors of AYA cancer. IMPACT: More research is needed on lung cancer prevention, education, and early detection, particularly among survivors at higher risk.
