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

Lung cancer treatment consists from the basic chemotherapeutic drugs (e.g., platinum analogues) and from pharmaceuticals targeting the different genome of lung tumors (e.g., tyrosine kinase inhibitors). During the last years pharmaceuticals targeting the tumor mutations are approved for first line treatment since they have provided increased overall survival in comparison to standard chemotherapy treatment. Furthermore, due to the increased interest in unrevealing the mechanisms of cell mutation, tumor evolution and tumor cell maintenance the hedgehog pathway has been elicited. Along with Notch and Wnt these three pathways are responsible for progenitor cell development and pulmonary organogenesis. Inhibitors of this pathway have been discovered and their application in the clinical practice is being investigated. However, further understanding of the mechanisms of regulation is needed.
