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

opinion statementNon-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring epidermal growth receptor (EGFR) mutation has distinct genomic characteristics. Introduction of systemic treatments that specifically targeted actionable EGFR mutations has changed the therapeutic paradigm in this group of patients. Moreover, newer generations of EGFR tyrosine-kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) with superior pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics properties such as dacomitinib and osimertinib, when used in the front-line setting, have shown more favorable treatment outcomes than first-generation EGFR-TKIs. In addition, evolving molecular technologies such as droplet digital polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR) and next-generation sequencing (NGS) has enhanced our understanding towards the genetics and epigenetics in pathogenesis, drug-resistant mechanisms as well as improved diagnostic accuracy and efficacy. On the other hand, the recent development in immunotherapies has pushed anti-cancer treatment to new frontiers in many cancers including lung cancer. While ongoing research are focusing on how benefits of immunotherapy can be potentiated, the combinational use of EGFR-TKIs and checkpoint inhibitors have been shown repeatedly in prior trials to cause significant toxicities. This approach cannot be recommended outside of a clinical trial at this time. Overall, remarkable progresses have opened new therapeutic strategies with which patient survival is further improved. In this review, we shall discuss the latest treatment strategies in EGFR mutation positive NSCLC with a focus on latest evidence, and how advances in molecular diagnostics can play an important role patient management.
