Prognostic features and comprehensive genomic analysis of NF1 mutations in EGFR mutant lung cancer patients.
Article in Cancer medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
objectiveNF1 is a tumor suppressor gene that encodes the neurofibromin protein and negatively regulates Ras signaling. This study was aimed to investigate the molecular, clinical characteristics, and prognostic features of NF1 gene in EGFR mutant lung cancer patients.
methodThe next-generation sequencing (NGS) was used to analyze the data from lung cancer patients in the Guangdong Lung Cancer Institute (GLCI) from June 2016 to December 2020.
resultsSomatic NF1 mutations were present in 4.2% (135/3220) of Chinese lung cancer patients. NF1 mutations where clearly enriched in older (p < 0.001), male (p < 0.001), and smoking (p < 0.001) patients. Patients with NF1 mutations were more likely to have TP53 (p = 0.003), BRAF (p = 0.001) and RASA1 (p = 0.026) mutations and mutually exclusive with EGFR mutations (p = 0.006). TP53 mutation had worsen prognosis in cases of NF1 mutant (p = 0.026) or EGFR/NF1 co-mutant (p = 0.031) lung adenocarcinomas (LUAD) patients. There was no effect on overall survival (OS) in LUAD patients with and without NF1 mutations, even in LUAD driver-gene negative patients. NF1/EGFR co-mutation patients had a longer OS than a single mutation of either the EGFR gene (median OS: 47.7 m vs. 30.2 m, hazard ratio [95% CI], 0.47 [0.30-0.74], p = 0.004) or NF1 gene (47.7 m vs. 19.0 m, 0.44 [0.27-0.73], p = 0.003). Furthermore, NF1 mutations significantly prolonged OS in EGFR mutant/TP53 wild-type LUAD patients (106.5 m vs. 25.5 m, 0.28 [0.13-0.59], p = 0.003) but not in patients with EGFR/TP53 co-mutations (36.8 m vs. 30.2 m, 0.70 [0.39-1.26], p = 0.280).
conclusionOur results indicated NF1 mutations served as a good prognostic factor in EGFR mutant/TP53 wild-type lung cancer patients in this single-center study. TP53 mutation was obviously enriched in NF1 mutant patients and had shorter OS.
