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

introductionThe currently available systemic therapies for non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have limited efficacy. Previous studies indicated an association of elevated insulinlike growth factor (IGF)-1 receptor (IGF-1R) and insulin receptor expression levels with poor survival in patients with NSCLC. To better understand the molecular biomarkers involved in the IGF signaling pathway in NSCLC, the expression levels of IGF-1 and IGF-2 are characterized and evaluated for their association with IGF-1R and phosphorylated IGF-1R (pIGF-1R) expression in NSCLC. MATERIALS AND

methodsA total of 352 patients who underwent NSCLC resection with curative intent were studied. The expression patterns of the IGF-1, IGF-2, IGF-1R, and pIGF-1R proteins were assessed immunohistochemically using tissue microarrays.

resultsThe IGF-1 expression was higher in patients with adenocarcinoma (ADC) than in those with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), whereas the IGF-2 score was higher in patients with SCC than those with ADC. Likewise, the IGF-1 score was higher in patients with mutated epidermal growth factor receptor (mtEGFR) than in those with wild type EGFR (wtEGFR), whereas the IGF-2 score was higher in patients with wtEGFR than in those with mtEGFR. Patients with low levels of IGF-1 expression had longer overall survival (OS) than those with high IGF-1 expression, and subgroup analyses found a significant difference in OS only in patients with ADC.

conclusionThe overexpression of IGF-1 predicts poor survival among patients with NSCLC, especially those with ADC. These results might serve as a future guide for clinical trials involving IGF-1R-targeting agents.
