Downregulation of EGFR in a metastatic brain lesion of EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer using a tyrosine kinase inhibitor: A case report.

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
Brain metastasis is a common complication in patients with cancer, with lung cancer being the most frequent origin of brain metastases. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have begun to serve a pivotal role in lung cancer treatment and have been reported to demonstrate anticancer activity against brain metastases by penetrating the blood-brain barrier. The present study reports, to the best of our knowledge, the first case of EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) brain metastasis that was surgically resected while the lesion was responding to the EGFR-TKI erlotinib. The results of the present study demonstrated that EGFR-mutated NSCLC cells were able to evade the cytotoxic effect of EGFR-TKI by downregulating EGFR expression, without exhibiting the T790M EGFR mutation.
