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

BACKGROUND/

aimIn recent years, the genomic landscape of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) of the lung has been investigated. However, more data are necessary to elucidate the heterogeneous nature of NETs, especially in East Asian patients. PATIENTS AND

methodsA total of 64 patients who underwent surgical resection for lung NETs [26 typical or atypical carcinoid tumors, 21 large-cell neuroendocrine carcinomas (LCNECs), and 19 small-cell lung carcinomas (SCLCs)] were enrolled, and samples from 46 patients were subjected to targeted next-generation sequencing.

resultsCo-mutations of tumor protein p53 (TP53) and RB transcriptional corepressor 1 (RB1) were detected in 15%, 42%, and 93% of carcinoid tumors, LCNECs, and SCLCs, respectively. Oncogenic or targetable genetic alterations identified in this study included mutations of KRAS proto-oncogene (KRAS), phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase catalytic subunit alpha (PIK3CA), ALK receptor tyrosine kinase (ALK), mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 1 (MAP2K1), and isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1), as well as amplifications of erb-b2 receptor tyrosine kinase 2 (ERBB2), fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1), CD274 molecule (CD274), and MYCN proto-oncogene (MYCN). These alterations were more frequently found in high-grade NETs than in carcinoid tumors (33.3% vs. 7.7%). Programmed cell death-ligand 1 expression was strongly associated with the LCNEC subtype among NETs (p=0.002).

conclusionThe mutational status of TP53 and RB1 was significantly associated with NET subtypes in East Asian patients. Targeted therapy or immunotherapy may serve as a treatment option in a subset of patients with high-grade NETs.
