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

backgroundFew studies assessed the use of endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS)-guided re-biopsy for detecting the T790M mutation after epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) failure.

methodsA total of 2996 EBUS procedures were performed during the study period (January 2019-June 2022). In total, 44 consecutive patients who underwent EBUS-guided re-biopsy (56 procedures) for detecting the T790M mutation were analyzed. The success rates and T790M mutation frequencies were analyzed according to the re-biopsy site and EBUS method. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify factors affecting the likelihood of the T790M mutation.

resultsThe success rates for the mutation analyses using EBUS with a guide-sheath (EBUS-GS), EBUS guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA), and EBUS-GS with EBUS-TBNA for re-biopsy were 80.6% (29/36), 93.3% (14/15), and 100% (5/5), respectively. Patients who underwent lymph node biopsy using EBUS-TBNA had an increased rates of the T790M mutation compared with those undergoing lung biopsy using EBUS-GS (EBUS-TBNA, 60.0%; EBUS-GS with EBUS-TBNA, 40.0%; EBUS-GS, 11.1%; p < 0.001). In multivariate analysis, the use of a first-generation EGFR-TKI (odds ratio [OR], 4.29; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.05-17.58; p = 0.043) was associated with occurrence of the T790M mutation. Re-biopsy of the metastatic site tended to be associated with a higher T790M mutation rate. Mild hemoptysis occurred in 3.6% (2/56) of the patients.

conclusionsEBUS-guided re-biopsy can be used for detecting the T790M mutation in patients who failed EGFR-TKI therapy. The T790M mutation frequency differed according to the re-biopsy site. The use of a first-generation EGFR-TKI was an independent predictor of the T790M mutation.
