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

SMARCA4-deficient non-small cell carcinoma is an aggressive neoplasm with poor outcome. Several studies have highlighted its immunochemistry, pathophysiology, and underlying mechanisms, but studies of its definite treatment are few. Here, we report on a 69-year-old male with heterogenous pathological presentations of SMARCA4-deficient non-small cell carcinoma. He initially presented with neck lymphadenopathies. Immunohistochemistry staining and genomic profiling confirmed the diagnosis of SMARCA4-deficient non-small cell carcinoma. The patient responded well to immune checkpoint inhibitors with nivolumab. However, new lesions with various pathological presentations and various responses to nivolumab appeared during the treatment course. The patient survived more than 3 years from the initial diagnosis. This case shows the efficacy of nivolumab to treat SMARCA4-deficient non-small cell lung carcinoma.
