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

Following two decades of research on the biology of cancer and in particular of lung cancer, we have now a large number of molecular targets that can be utilized to create specific medicines against these cancers. Non-small cell lung cancer represents numerically the most important solid tumor in Western world, and is poorly affected by current therapies, where surgery represents almost the only curative therapy for about 25% of patients who are resectable at diagnosis. An abundant number of targeted therapies are being investigated in NSCLC. Among them are the metalloproteinase inhibitors, several tyrosine kinase inhibitors and several attempts of gene replacement have also been made. Promising results have so far been obtained with some of these approaches, and the outcome of large randomized studies is awaited. Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) represents about 20% of lung carcinomas, and several of the novel approaches that are being attempted for NSCLC, are also being investigated for SCLC. All these novel therapies open a new era of anticancer treatment that will likely complement the currently available therapies in the near future.
