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

Introduction: NSCLC is a solid tumor with a growing number of actionable biomarkers that may inform treatment. Current guidelines recommend a broad, panel-based approach be taken to identify actionable markers. This retrospective study used a deidentified electronic health records database in the United States to evaluate utilization of various testing modalities. Methods: Data from all adult patients diagnosed with having advanced/metastatic nonsquamous NSCLC between January 2015 and March 2021 were eligible if there was evidence of systemic therapy within 90 days of diagnosis. Results: Records from a total of 17,513 patients (91.6% from community-based practices) were eligible with 83,064 genomic biomarker tests recorded from 2015 to 2021. The proportion of patients who received biomarker testing by next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based methods ranged from 28.3% in 2015 to 68.1% in 2020. The proportion of biomarker testing methods with inconclusive or unsuccessful results ranged from 3.4% for NGS to 9.7% for fluorescence in situ hybridization. The median time to receive results ranged from 4.0 days for polymerase chain reaction-based tests to 10.0 days for immunohistochemistry- and NGS-based tests. Median time to receive results was 8 days for academic and 9 days for community practices. Conclusions: These real-world data suggest increased adoption of NGS-based testing, yet nearly one-third of all patients with advanced/metastatic nonsquamous NSCLC still did not receive broad-based genomic testing by 2020.
