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

First-line tyrosine-kinase inhibitor (TKI) treatment is the current standard for patients with metastasized non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and sensitizing epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations. Despite good initial responses, patients treated with TKIs relapse after an average of 12 months. About half of them develop known resistance mechanisms and therefore are qualified for further targeted therapies. However, many patients still have to be treated with standard chemotherapeutic regimens. In this case series we describe three patients with similar progression patterns under TKI treatment in the absence of treatable resistance mechanisms and excellent platinum dependent response to chemotherapy and review the current literature focusing on effectiveness of standard chemotherapy in this cohort.
