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
backgroundThis study aims to investigate the frequency, distribution, and morphological/immunohistochemical features of epidermal growth factor receptor mutations and to examine the possible relationship between the material type and technical success of mutation analysis in Turkish population with non-small cell lung cancer.
methodsBetween September 2012 and December 2015, a total of 499 consecutive, treatment-naïve patients (437 males, 163 females; mean age 61 years; range, 30 to 84 years) with primary or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer who underwent epidermal growth factor receptor mutation testing using Sanger sequencing method were retrospectively analyzed. Archival records and hematoxylin-eosine and immunohistochemically stained sections were re-examined. The thyroid transcription factor-1 and napsin A immunohistochemical stains were performed on tissue array blocks.
resultsSeventy-five mutations were detected in 70 patients (14%). The success rate of testing and intact deoxyribonucleic acid fragment length were significantly higher in the cytological material, compared to tissue specimens (p<0.001). The mutation rate in adenocarcinomas was 33.9% for women and 9.4% for men. The most common mutation was L746-E750del in exon 19 (29.3%), followed by the L858R mutation in exon 21 (28%). The mutation rate was the highest in micropapillary (40%) and lowest in solid (5.4%) adenocarcinomas. All epidermal growth factor receptor mutations, except for one, were positive for the thyroid transcription factor-1. The single nucleotide polymorphism Q787Q in exon 20 was observed in 79.6% of patients.
conclusionThe frequency and distribution of epidermal growth factor receptor mutations in the Turkish patients with non-small cell lung cancer are similar to the European populations. These results also demonstrate that cytological materials are highly reliable for epidermal growth factor receptor mutation testing, and the probability of detection of wild-type epidermal growth factor receptor is low in cases of thyroid transcription factor-1 negativity.
