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

Targeted therapy has changed the paradigm of advanced NSCLC management by improving the survival rate of patients carrying actionable gene alterations using specific inhibitors. The epidemiologic features of these alterations vary among races. Understanding the racial differences benefits drug development, clinical trial design, and health resource allocation. Compared to Caucasian and Asian populations, current knowledge on Hispanic patients is less and no data of Hispanic patients from Puerto Rico have been reported. We retrieved and analyzed the demographic, clinical, and molecular data of Hispanic NSCLC patients from Puerto Rico with molecular tests performed in the Genoptix Medical Laboratory in Carlsbad, CA, USA between 2011 and 2018. The majority of the NSCLC patients in our study had either adenocarcinoma (75.4%) or squamous cell carcinoma (15.1%). The incidence of
