Review in Clinical & translational oncology : official publication of the Federation of Spanish Oncology Societies and of the National Cancer Institute of Mexico, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) accounts for approximately 15% of all lung cancer cases. Despite a frequently good response to first-line treatment with chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy, early relapse occurs in the majority of patients and 5-year survival is only about 5%. Therefore, there is a need to develop novel treatments to improve the outcome of patients with SCLC. To fulfil this need, it is critical to gain further understanding on the molecular basis of SCLC and specifically to identify novel therapeutic targets. Clinical trials with molecularly targeted agents have been performed with little success in the past, but recently many promising oncogenic pathways have been discovered and novel targeted therapies are under evaluation. In this review, we summarise the most relevant genetic and signalling pathway alterations reported to date in SCLC and discuss the potential therapeutic implications of such events.
