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

Acquired resistance inevitably limits the curative effects of epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs), which represent the classical paradigm of molecular-targeted therapies in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). How to break such a bottleneck becomes a pressing problem in cancer treatment. The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a dynamic process that governs biological changes in various aspects of malignancies, notably drug resistance. Progress in delineating the nature of this process offers an opportunity to develop clinical therapeutics to tackle resistance toward anticancer agents. Herein, we seek to provide a framework for the mechanistic underpinnings on the EMT-mediated acquisition of EGFR-TKI resistance, with a focus on NSCLC, and raise the question of what therapeutic strategies along this line should be pursued to optimize the efficacy in clinical practice.
