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

backgroundThe epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) is an effective treatment for advanced lung cancer harboring EGFR gene mutations, and has improved progression-free survival in several clinical trials.

methodsWe investigated 30 stage I non-small-cell lung cancer patients harboring EGFR gene mutations with postoperative intrapulmonary recurrence. Progression-free survival and response rate were analyzed.

resultsPartial response was achieved in 23 patients and stable disease was found in 7 patients. The objective response rate was 76.7% and disease control rate was 100%. The median progression-free survival (PFS) time was 24.5 months. The median PFS in patients with only intrapulmonary recurrence was significantly superior to patients with both intrapulmonary recurrence and metastasis (32.0 months vs 14.0 months,

conclusionOur result reveals that first-line EGFR-TKIs treatment for stage I non-small-cell lung cancer patients harboring EGFR gene mutations with postoperative intrapulmonary recurrence is effective and could be a useful option in practical setting.
