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

We encountered a 40-year-old female patient who developed, in chronological order, carcinomatous pleuritis and lymphangitis, multiple lymph node metastases, brain metastases, and intramedullary spinal cord metastases after resection of lung adenocarcinoma followed by adjuvant chemotherapy. Echinoderm microtubule-associated protein-like 4 (EML4) and the anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) fusion gene, variant 2 was identified in her cancer cells. By changing the ALK inhibitors from the 1st to 3rd generation each time when metastases were identified and incorporating local treatments in a timely fashion, such as metastasectomy or radiation therapy, she has survived for more than 11 years since the start of treatment, while maintaining a good Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG-PS) score of 0. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case in which ALK fusion variant 2 was identified and prolonged disease control was achieved with the continuous prescription of ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and timely consolidative treatments.
