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.

Abstract

BACKGROUND/

objectivesMost patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) receive chemo- and/or immunotherapy, which can be associated with adverse events including fatigue. Affected patients may not be able to receive the complete chemo- and/or immunotherapy as planned. In this context, patients may benefit from maintaining their physical activity, which can be challenging. An app reminding patients to perform a certain number of steps may have a positive effect on physical activity during chemo- and/or immunotherapy. Such an app is under development and will be tested in a prospective trial. The current APACHIE-01 study (NCT06993896) is required for proper sample size calculation and design of the planned trial.

methodsThe main goal of the APACHIE-01 study is to evaluate patterns and predictors of physical activity during chemo- and/or immunotherapy for locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC. The primary endpoint is the assessment of the mean number of steps per week during the first three cycles of chemo- and/or immunotherapy for lung cancer. The baseline value is represented by the mean number of steps during the last week prior to chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy. Secondary endpoints include associations between mean number of steps per week and a pain score, a distress score, and a fatigue score. The recruitment of the required 38 patients should be completed within 4 months and the treatment period will be 9-10 weeks (three cycles of chemo- and/or immunotherapy), resulting in a total running time of approximately 6 months. The APACHIE-01 study will contribute to the optimal design of a subsequent prospective trial.
