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

Brain metastasis from non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations is a hot research topic, but also a difficulty in targeted NSCLC therapy, and is also the focus of controversy in the field of lung cancer treatment. According to medical oncology, asymptomatic patients were initially treated with targeted therapy, followed by local radiotherapy when symptoms present or disease progresses. However, from the perspective of the discipline of radiotherapy, brain metastases need to be treated before drug resistance, as it may affect survival. Controversies between disciplines have brought much confusion to the treatment choices of clinicians. We summarized and discussed relevant literatures in this article to seek the truth in providing reference in clinical practice for treating diseases and solving problems.
