EGFR mutation testing in blood for guiding EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor treatment in patients with nonsmall cell lung cancer: A protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis.
Article in Medicine, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundEpidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation testing in tumor tissue is now a common practice in selecting non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients for EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) treatment. However, tumor tissues are often absent or insufficient for the testing. Blood is a potential substitute providing a noninvasive, easily accessible and repeatedly measureable source of genotypic information. However which is the best blood EGFR mutation testing method remains unclear. We undertake this study to investigate the best blood EGFR mutation testing method for selecting EGFR TKI treatment in patients with NSCLC.
methodsThis study was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42017055263). PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane library, and NIHR Health Technology Assessment program will be searched. Studies fulfill the following criteria will be eligible: (1) randomized controlled trials or cohort studies; (2) included patients with NSCLC; (3) reported response, progression-free survival, or overall survival for EGFR TKI by the EGFR mutation status in blood sample. Diagnostic accuracy of blood EGFR mutation tests for predicting response to TKI will be pooled. Tumor response, progression-free survival, and overall survival according to different blood EGFR mutation testing methods will be evaluated and compared.
resultsBased published data and combined analysis, this study will quantitatively compare the blood EGFR mutation testing methods according to their accuracy for predicting treatment response and relationship with clinical outcome in NSCLC patients treated with EGFR TKIs.
conclusionThis protocol will determine the best blood EGFR mutation testing method.
