A Case of Advanced Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer With Response to Alectinib and Favorable Quality of Life.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 death globally and in the United States. Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for approximately 85% of lung cancer cases. A progressive increase in morbidity and mortality is seen with advanced disease. Identifying specific driver mutations, such as anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) mutations and directed therapy, has improved the quality of life and survival in ALK-positive NSCLC patients. Here, we present the case of a 37-year-old female who was diagnosed with stage IV NSCLC (adenocarcinoma) with a positive ALK mutation six years ago. Our case report highlights a rare ALK mutation NSCLC treated with targeted ALK inhibitor therapy. Despite having advanced-stage cancer, the treatment significantly impacted her survival with an improved quality of life.
