EGFR-mutated stage IV non-small cell lung cancer: What is the role of radiotherapy combined with TKI?
Review in Cancer medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death globally and poses a considerable threat to public health. Asia has the highest prevalence of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Despite the reasonable response and prolonged survival associated with EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy, the acquisition of resistance to TKIs remains a major challenge. Additionally, patients with EGFR mutations are at a substantially higher risk of brain metastasis compared with those harboring wild-type EGFR. The role of radiotherapy (RT) in EGFR-mutated (EGFRm) stage IV NSCLC requires clarification, especially with the advent of next-generation TKIs, which are more potent and exhibit greater central nervous system activity. In particular, the feasible application of RT, including the timing, site, dose, fraction, and combination with TKI, merits further investigation. This review focuses on these key issues, and provides a flow diagram with proposed treatment options for metastatic EGFRm NSCLC, aiming to provide guidance for clinical practice.
