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

Objective: To investigate the efficacy and safety of bronchial artery chemoembolization (BACE) for the treatment of inoperable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods: A retrospective review was conducted of 112 patients with NSCLC who received BACE treatment and 120 patients who underwent systemic chemotherapy in our center over the past 10 years. The progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR), quality of life, and adverse events were compared between the two groups. Results: The complete response (CR), partial response (PR), stable disease (SD), and progressive disease (PD) rates in the BACE group were 7.14%, 39.29%, 33.04%, and 20.54%, respectively, while those rates in the chemotherapy group were 7.5%, 20.83%, 55.0%, and 16.67%. The ORR in the BACE group was significantly higher than in the chemotherapy group (46.43% vs. 28.33%, Conclusion: BACE treatment for inoperable NSCLC offers better clinical outcomes compared to systemic chemotherapy and is safe and well-tolerated, with no severe adverse events. This approach warrants further prospective randomized controlled trials.
