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

backgroundWe report on a female patient who underwent primary radical resection for a stage 2B Her-2-positive Barrett's-type esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). Despite Her-2 targeted therapy, her disease recurred and required repeated metastectomies. CASE PRESENTATION: Digital cell sorting and targeted sequencing of cancer sub-clones from EAC and metastases revealed a completely mutated TP53, whereas the sorted stromal cells were wild-type. Her-2 amplification was significantly lower in the metastases when the patient became therapy-resistant.

conclusionsThe mechanism of therapy resistance illustrated by this case could only be detected through accurate analysis of tumor sub-populations. Investigating tumor sub-populations of recurrent disease is important for adjusting therapy in recurrent EAC.
