Two Unusual Mutations in the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Gene in a Patient With Lung Adenocarcinoma.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Adenocarcinoma (ADC) of the lung is the most frequent pathology corresponding to non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The advent of target therapy and the discovery of drugs that block signaling pathways related to cellular events involved in the progression of the disease have led to a better prognosis in cases of ADC. Some of the targeted therapy focuses on the blockade of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), targeting mutations in exon 19 and 21, with favorable clinical outcomes. However, there is limited evidence with respect to unusual mutations as in exon 18 (g719x) and 20 (s768). In this report, we present a case of a 65-year-old female with two unusual mutations in the EGFR gene, in exon 18 (g719x) and 20 (s768i), without central nervous system (CNS) involvement; these mutations are typically resistant to standard therapy. We decided to administer osimertinib because of its favorable toxicity profile and with a view to preventing future CNS relapse.
