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

Background: This study aims to evaluate the prognostic factors for overall survival and progression-free survival in non-small cell lung cancer patients receiving platinum-based neoadjuvant therapy. Methods: Between January 2008 and December 2022, a total of 163 patients with clinical Stages 2B, 3A, and 3B non-small cell lung cancer (148 males, 15 females; mean age: 59.5±7.8 years; range, 33 to 76 years) who underwent operation after neoadjuvant chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy were retrospectively analyzed. The prognostic factors for overall survival and progression-free survival were evaluated. Results: Higher major pathological response rate (p=0.021) and lower recurrence rate (p=0.009) were observed in patients with squamous cell carcinoma. The five-year progression-free survival rates were 56.9% and 34.1% for patients with squamous and non-squamous cell cancers (p=0.007) and the five-year overall survival rates were 68.2% and 52.2%, respectively (p=0.046). Squamous cell carcinoma histology was a favorable prognostic factor for both progression-free survival (p=0.008) and overall survival OS (p=0.031). Conclusion: Tumor histology may serve as a prognostic factor, helping to predict patient outcomes and guide the selection of neoadjuvant therapies before surgery. Currently, platinum-based chemotherapies are still used as a standard. Clinicians should consider tumor histology while deciding on neoadjuvant treatment.
