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

Recent studies have indicated that afatinib is beneficial for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring uncommon epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations, while the effectiveness of afatinib rechallenge has not been fully defined. Here, we report a long-term survival case of NSCLC harboring concomitant EGFR G719C and S768I mutations who received afatinib rechallenge followed by chemotherapy. The present case suggests that combined therapeutic strategies such as afatinib plus sequential chemotherapy would be beneficial based on appropriately timed rebiopsies from recurrent lesions. KEY POINTS: SIGNIFICANT FINDINGS OF THE STUDY AND WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS: A NSCLC patient carrying EGFR G719X/S768I mutations survived for a long period of time with afatinib rechallenge followed by chemotherapy. Combined therapeutic strategies should be considered based on rebiopsies in appropriate timing in NSCLC with uncommon EGFR mutations.
