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

On a global scale, the incidence and mortality rates of lung cancer are gradually increasing year by year. A number of bad habits and environmental factors are associated with lung cancer, including smoking, second‑hand smoke exposure, occupational exposure, respiratory diseases and genetics. At present, low‑dose spiral computed tomography is routinely the first choice in the diagnosis of lung cancer. However, pathological examination is still the gold standard for the diagnosis of lung cancer. Based on the classification and stage of the cancer, treatment options such as surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy and immunotherapy are available. The activation of the EGFR pathway can promote the survival and proliferation of tumor cells, and the VEGF pathway can promote the formation of blood vessels, thereby promoting tumor growth. In non‑small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with EGFR mutation, EGFR activation can promote tumor growth by promoting VEGF upregulation through a hypoxia‑independent mechanism. The upregulation of VEGF can make tumor cells resistant to EGFR inhibitors. In addition, the expression of the VEGF signal is also affected by other factors. Therefore, the use of a single EGFR inhibitor cannot completely inhibit the expression of the VEGF signal. In order to overcome this problem, the combination of VEGF inhibitors and EGFR inhibitors has become the method of choice. Dual inhibition can not only overcome the resistance of tumor cells to EGFR inhibitors, but also significantly increase the progression‑free survival time of patients with NSCLC. The present review discusses the associations between the EGFR and VEGF pathways, and the characteristics of dual inhibition of the EGFR‑VEGF pathway.
