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

rationaleFor advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), targeted therapy and chemoradiotherapy are recommended as the first-line treatment. For patients with a performance status (PS) score over 2 and without gene mutation, however, only supportive treatment is provided and survival time is extremely short. We believe that more can be done to improve the patient's survival time and their quality of life. PATIENT CONCERNS AND DIAGNOSES: A 65-year-old female came to our hospital due to "cough and pain and lack of movement in the left leg". The diagnosis was advanced wild gene-type lung adenocarcinoma and PS score over 2. INTERVENTIONS AND OUTCOMES: She was treated in our clinic with apatinib and erlotinib and has had no progression of the disease for 15.4 months. Except for the presence of hand-foot syndrome and diarrhea, no other serious adverse reactions were seen. LESSONS: For patients in poor physical condition and unacceptable of chemo-radiotherapy, apatinib combined with an epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) is a safe and effective therapeutic method for advanced wild gene-type NCSCL.
