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

objectivesTo find predictors of non-diagnostic repeat biopsy specimen acquisition for mutational analysis and detection of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) T790M mutation.

methodsWe retrospectively reviewed 90 non-small cell lung cancer patients harbouring EGFR mutations who underwent repeat cone-beam CT-guided transthoracic needle biopsy. Clinical characteristics as well as biopsy-related factors were compared between patients with and without diagnostic specimen acquisition and between patients with and without T790M mutation. After univariate analysis, multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to reveal independent predictors.

resultsDiagnostic biopsy specimens for mutational test were obtained in 90% (81/90) of patients, of which 62% (50/81) possessed T790M mutation. None of the analysed variables were significantly associated with non-diagnostic specimen acquisition. For T790M detection, duration of EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor treatment (p = 0.066), duration of total chemotherapy (p = 0.026), tumour size (p = 0.066), and metastatic lung lesion as a biopsy target (p = 0.029) showed p values less than 0.10. Multivariate analysis revealed that target tumour size (odds ratio, 0.765; p = 0.031) was an independent predictor of T790M mutation. Metastatic lesions as biopsy targets (odds ratio, 4.194; p = 0.050) showed marginal statistical significance.

conclusionsNon-diagnostic repeat biopsy specimen acquisition was not related to the clinical or technical factors. However, detection of T790M at repeat biopsy might be associated with smaller target tumour size and selection of metastatic lesions as biopsy targets. KEY POINTS: • Cone-beam CT-guided repeat biopsy yielded high diagnostic specimen acquisition rate. • Biopsy-related features were associated with the detection of T790M mutation. • Target tumour size was an independent predictor of the T790M detection. • Biopsy targeting metastatic lung nodules might help detect the T790M mutation.
