Molecular Analysis of Oncogenic Mutations in Resected Margins by Next-Generation Sequencing Predicts Relapse in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients.

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
objectiveTo investigate the genetic mutations in both tumor and marginal tissues in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and to evaluate the potential prognostic value in patients with margins gene positive.
methodsNext-generation sequencing (NGS) technique was used to detect genetic mutation in tumor and marginal tissues of the bronchus in 88 patients with NSCLC. Correlation of genetic mutations with pathology, lymph node metastasis, disease-free survival and overall survival was analyzed.
resultsOf the 88 patients, 83 cases (94.3%) had gene mutations in the tumor samples and 12 cases (13.6%) had genetic alterations in their margins. Most of the gene mutations detected were cancer drivers. Six common driver genes between tumor and marginal tissues were identified, including
conclusionThese findings identify the presence of oncogenic alterations in microscopically negative margins in NSCLC patients associated with elevated risk of relapse and shorter survival time. Thus, examination of microscopically negative margins by NGS represents a valuable approach to predict the clinical outcome of NSCLC patients.
