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

Currently, data that supports the clinical benefit of agents targeting the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in the therapy of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) histologic version of the lung cancer (LC) is insufficient. In the following report we present the case of a patient treated with erlotinib for SCC NSCLC. At the time of initiation, there were no available guidelines recommendations regarding the EGFR status in for initiation of EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) therapy for NSCLC, thus the sample was never tested for the EGFR mutational status. Not widely used in the treatment of SCC, EGFR-TKIs remain a valid therapeutic option in selected groups of patients.
