Almonertinib as a neoadjuvant therapy for patients with a superior pulmonary sulcus tumor with activated EGFR mutation: A case report.
Article in Experimental and therapeutic medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
A superior pulmonary sulcus tumor, also known as a Pancoast tumor, invades tissues or organs at the entrance of the thorax, such as the brachial plexus, upper ribs, vertebrae, subclavian vessels and stellate ganglia. Induction concurrent chemoradiotherapy followed by radical surgical resection is the preferred treatment. The present study reported the case of a 52-year-old male who presented at Hubei Cancer Hospital, Tongji Medical College (Wuhan, Hubei) with left chest pain and an abnormal chest computed tomography scan showing a mass of 81x43 mm in the left upper chest wall that invaded the first, second and third anterior ribs. Biopsy of the mass showed stage cT4N0M0, IIIA, poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma and epidermal growth factor receptor+. The patient was treated by induction chemotherapy and targeted therapy, which was followed by surgical resection of the left upper lobe and the affected chest wall via the transmanubrial approach. The targeted therapy with almonertinib was continued postoperatively. To date, no disease recurrence has been detected during the 4 months follow-up.
