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 limitation of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is its inability to detect cancer cell subpopulations with few or no dying cells. Lung cancer patients subjected to the EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) treatment were prospectively collected, and ctDNA levels represented by the activating and T790M mutations were measured. The first data set (21 patients) consisting of samples collected in the period from before initiation of EGFR-TKI to at least 2 weeks after initiation: the ctDNA dynamics generally exhibited a rapid decrease and/or a transient increase. In 4 patients, we detected a transient increase of ctDNA bearing activating mutations not identified in biopsy samples. ctDNA with the same genotypical pattern was identified in 7 out of the 39 patients of the second data set intended to include samples until the onset of disease progression. In 6 of the 7 patients, this unique ctDNA appeared in the early period after treatment initiation, and did not reappear even after disease progression or chemotherapy. In another patient, similar ctDNA appeared upon radiation therapy. The identification of ctDNA with a unique genotype indicates the presence of cancer cell subpopulations that normally contain few or no dying cells, but generate dead cells because of the treatment.
