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

backgroundTesting for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation is an important process in the therapeutic plan of patients with lung cancer. Recently, MassARRAY, based on matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry, has been shown to be a useful method for somatic mutation analysis with pyrosequencing and peptide nucleic acid clamping (PNAc).

methodsA total of 107 tissues and 67 cytological samples, which were confirmed to have lung adenocarcinoma at nine hospitals in Korea, were collected. Among the MassARRAY, pyrosequencing, and PNAc, the concordance rates and sensitivity of EGFR mutation detection were analyzed and validated in comparative tissue and cytological specimens.

resultsThe concordance rate between pyrosequencing and PNAc was higher than that between MassARRAY and either of the pyrosequencing and PNAc in both tissue and cytological samples. In a comparison of diagnostic performance, MassARRAY (sensitivity: 85.7 %) was higher than pyrosequencing (74.3 %) and PNAc (70 %) in tissue, although pyrosequencing (80.5 %) was more highly sensitive, compared to MassARRAY (70.7 %) and PNAc (70.7 %) in terms of cytology. Unexpectedly, use of MassARRAY resulted in a significantly different EGFR mutation detection rate between tissue and cytological samples.

conclusionsWhen used for the detection of EGFR mutations, MassARRAY was more sensitive than pyrosequencing or PNA clamping in tissue, but not in cytological samples. In EGFR mutation detection between tissues and cytology, PNAc showed relatively higher concordance than MassARRAY or pyrosequencing.
