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

backgroundEpidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene mutation in lung cancer is a reliable predictor of the efficacy of tyrosine kinase inhibitors, so detection of gene mutation has very important clinical significance. The aim of this study is to optimize conditions for restriction enzyme-based mutant enriched detection of EGFR mutation in lung cancer specimens.

methodsEGFR somatic mutations identified in DNA specimens from 251 lung adenocarcinomas with modified mutant enriched method and direct sequencing were compared. The sensitivity of the modified method was determined by serial dilution of mutant-carrying lung cancer cells in wild-type cells.

results46 deletion mutations in exon 19 and 26 point mutations in exon 21 were found by sequencing, while modified method identified another 78 deletions in exon 19 and 57 substitutions in exon 21 with a mutation rate of 53.8%. Sensitivity of this modified method was 0.5% (mutant/wild type) in serial diluted cells.

conclusionsThe modified restriction enzyme-based method is convenient for clinical EGFR mutation screening in non-small cell lung cancer for its simpleness, cost-saving and high sensitivity.
