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

Development of targeted therapies for squamous cell lung cancer (SqCLC) is currently limited by the prevalence of activating mutations and their predicting power of treatment efficacy. In the present study, we describe a case of treatment-naïve stage IIIB SqCLC that harbored a rare epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) p.E746_S752delinsV mutation with clinical complete response to neoadjuvant gefitinib. Pathological complete response was confirmed after surgical resection. No disease recurrence was documented after 20-month follow-up. This report suggested that first-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) could be an option in neoadjuvant context for advanced SqCLC patients harboring EGFR p.E746_S752delinsV mutation and highlighted the clinical benefits of EGFR testing in SqCLC patients who are females and never/former light smokers.
