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

The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitor erlotinib has been shown to induce complete remission of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in two patients with concurrent lung cancer and raised attention for a role of EGFR in AML whereas a recent phase II clinical study with gefitinib in AML demonstrated a negative result on the outcome. However, from several studies, EGFR expression in AML is poorly defined and the role of EGFR in AML remains unclear. Herein, we report the results of EGFR expression in AML of large cohorts of adult and pediatric AML patients with the data of total protein and phosphorylation levels of EGFR. Our data conclude that there is the expression of EGFR at the protein level in a subset of AML, which was identified to be functionally active in ~15 % of AML patients. This suggests that future studies need to be conducted with a subset of AML patients characterized by high EGFR expression.
