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

Background: The prognosis of peritoneal carcinomatosis in patients with lung cancer is poor. However, some cases of peritoneal carcinomatosis from lung cancer harboring specific gene alterations have responded to molecular targeted drugs. B-Raf proto-oncogene (BRAF) mutations occur in about 2-4% of NSCLCs, with about half of these cases having the BRAF V600E mutation. Concomitant inhibition of BRAF with dabrafenib and inhibition of the downstream mitogen-activated protein kinase with trametinib showed efficacy in NSCLC patients with the BRAF V600E mutation. Herein, we report a patient with peritoneal carcinomatosis from lung cancer with the BRAF V600E mutation who responded to dabrafenib plus trametinib. Case Presentation: A 67-year-old Japanese male never-smoker was diagnosed with stage IA3 lung adenocarcinoma. He underwent thoracoscopic left lower lobectomy but developed recurrence of the cancer with peritoneal carcinomatosis 33 months after the operation. An Oncomine Dx target test of the resected specimen was positive for the Conclusion: This case highlights the importance of assessing genetic alterations in lung cancer patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis and treating them with appropriate molecular targeted drugs.
