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

Targeting the EGF receptor (EGFR) with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) shows clinical efficacy for some non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Recent studies have demonstrated that NSCLCs express estrogen receptors and that fulvestrant, an antiestrogen that reduces estrogen receptor protein, inhibits cell proliferation. Combination of a TKI targeting EGFR and fulvestrant shows greater efficacy than TKI or fulvestrant alone. This study demonstrated that treatment of NSCLC cells with vandetanib, a TKI of EGFR and VEGF receptor, and fulvestrant showed greater efficacy for inhibition of cell proliferation in vitro or xenograft tumor growth in vivo than either drug alone. These preclinical data provide rationale for a clinical trial to test efficacy in NSCLC patients.
