Clinical efficacy of icotinib in patients with advanced nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer with unknown EGFR mutation status that failed to respond to second-line chemotherapy.
Article in Annals of translational medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundEvaluation of the clinical efficacy and safety of icotinib in advanced nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with an unknown EGFR mutation who failed to respond to second-line chemotherapy.
methodsSeventy-six cases of advanced nonsquamous NSCLC were involved in this study from seven hospitals from the Hubei province of China. Patients with an unknown EGFR mutation status were treated with Icotinib, at an oral dosage of 125 mg three times daily. All patients were followed up for at least 1 year to observe the efficacy, adverse reactions, and 1-year survival.
resultsThe patients' overall objective response rate (ORR) was 34.2%, the disease control rate (DCR) was 75.0%, the clinical benefit rate (CBR) was 80.2%, the median progression-free survival (PFS) was 11.0 months, the median overall survival (OS) was 16.9 months, and the 1-year OS rate was 63.2%. Gender and smoking history were associated with the DCR (P<0.05). Both PFS and OS were significantly higher in groups that had pre-accepted ≤6 cycles of chemotherapy than in groups that had pre-accepted >6 cycles.
conclusionsOur results demonstrated that icotinib had a better DCR or clinical benefits for treating the patients with unknown EGFR mutation who failed to respond to second-line chemotherapy in advanced nonsquamous NSCLC, and the adverse effects are tolerable.
