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

backgroundThe etiology of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in non-smoker patients remains largely unknown. It has been widely proved that human papillomavirus (HPV) participates in the development of various cancers. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation patients represent a large portion of non-smokers with NSCLC. We performed this meta-analysis to determine whether HPV infection in NSCLC tissue is associated with EGFR mutations compared with HPV negative controls.

methodsOnline databases were searched up to June 30th 2017. We included studies in which HPV detection was based on polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methods. Random effects model was used in data synthesis and the relative effects were presented as odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs).

resultsFinally, four eligible studies with a total of 498 patients from Asian countries were identified and included. The general EFGR mutation positive rate was 38.2% among all patients, and the HPV DNA detection rate (HPV subtype being involved: 16, 18, 33 and 58) was 35.3%. The presence of EGFR mutation was significantly higher in HPV-positive patients compared with HPV-negative controls (52%

conclusionsOur results suggest that HPV infection is associated with EGFR mutations in NSCLC, at least in Asian populations. Further efforts should be made on exploring the potential mechanism and the prognostic character of HPV/EGFR positive NSCLC patient.
