A mutation-sensitive switch assay to detect five clinically significant epidermal growth factor receptor mutations.

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.
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
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations can affect the therapeutic efficacy of drugs used to treat nonsmall-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We aimed to develop methods to detect five common EGFR somatic mutations in tumor tissues from NSCLC patients by using a nanoscale mutation-sensitive switch consisting of a high-fidelity polymerase and phosphorothioate-modified allele-specific primers. The five clinically significant EGFR mutations examined here are S768I, T790M, L858R, and 15- and 18-bp deletion mutations in exon 19. Our assays showed sensitivities of 100 copies and specificities of more than three log scales for matched templates relative to mismatched templates by routine polymerase chain reaction (PCR), real-time PCR, and multiplex PCR. This assay would be superior to DNA sequencing in situations where mutant DNA is not abundant.
