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

A Phase II study of the Src family kinase (SFK) inhibitor dasatinib was recently reported in molecularly unselected patients with metastatic NSCLC. SFK inhibition has a strong rationale as a clinical strategy in NSCLC. The reviewed study unfortunately showed disappointing activity as monotherapy in this molecularly unselected patient cohort and toxicity in terms of pleural effusion was problematic. Therefore, dasatinib as monotherapy in this setting does not appear promising. Nonetheless, the reviewed study may be used in conjunction with other studies of dasatinib in NSCLC to identify patients more likely to benefit from dasatinib either as monotherapy or in combination with other agents. Future studies of dasatinib in NSCLC should examine the agent in combination with EGFR inhibitors and/or cytotoxic chemotherapies.
