A Rare Case of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer with BRAF V600E Gene: Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Non-small cell lung cancer is one of the leading causes of mortality in the United States. The BRAF mutation, which has been associated with malignant melanoma, has been documented in only 3.5-5% of the non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patient population.The involvement of the BRAF mutation in NSCLC and the treatment for tumors with such mutations is still an evolving topic of interest, which is why more in depth information is warranted. We present a rare case of stage IV non-small cell lung adenocarcinoma, who presented first with a complicated pericardial effusion with evidence of malignant effusion. He had genetic testing done, revealing he had a positive BRAF V600E mutation. He was put on multiple chemotherapy regimens, but was most responsive to Vemurafenib. This case will shed light into the importance of the BRAF V600E gene and its importance in NSCLC for better prognosis value.
