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

RTOG 0839 is a Phase II study of pre-operative chemoradiotherapy with or without panitumumab in potentially operable locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The investigational agent, panitumumab, is an anti-epithelial growth factor receptor (EGFR) antibody that improves progression-free survival in chemorefractory metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Recently, both KRAS mutational status (i.e., mutated or not) and subtype (i.e., activating or inactivating) have been shown to be predictive of response to anti-EGFR therapy in mCRC. However, in NSCLC, it is unknown if KRAS mutational status or subtype predict benefit to anti-EGFR therapies because of unique genetic and epigenetic factors unique to each cancer. We present a patient with stage III NSCLC containing a KRAS G12D activating mutation who had a partial pathologic response, with disappearance of a minor KRAS mutant clone. This case suggests possible eradication of the G12D KRAS lung cancer clones by concurrent chemoradiation with panitumumab.
