The Prognosis of Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients with Precision-Targeted Therapy Guided by NGS Testing or Routine Testing.

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
Purpose: We aim to observe the potential survival benefits of driver gene-guided targeted therapy in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients compared to non-targeted therapy. Additionally, the study aims to assess whether Next-generation sequencing technology (NGS)-guided targeted therapy can provide survival advantages for advanced NSCLC patients compared to conventional Epidermal growth factor receptor ( Methods: Clinical data, genetic testing results, and treatment information of 1663 advanced lung cancer patients diagnosed by pathology from January 2013 to June 2019 in Jiangsu University Affiliated Lianyungang Hospital were collected. Propensity score matching survival analysis was used to evaluate the differences in overall survival(OS) between groups. Results: In the unadjusted survival curve, targeted therapy patients had significantly longer median OS than non-targeted therapy patients (28.3 months vs 15.4 months, Hazard ratio (HR) = 0.5426, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.4768-0.6176, P < 0.0001); the conclusion was the same after propensity score matching analysis, with targeted therapy group patients having significantly prolonged OS median (27.5 months vs 14.8 months, HR = 0.5572, 95% CI 0.4796-0.6474, P < 0.0001). In the unadjusted survival curve, the NGS group had a significantly prolonged median OS compared to the conventional gene detection group (23.4 months vs 21.2 months, HR = 1.243, 95% CI = 1.017-1.519, P = 0.0495). However, after propensity score matching analysis, no statistically significant difference existed in the median OS between the two patient groups (23.1 months vs 21.5 months, HR = 1.288, 95% CI = 0.9557-1.735, P = 0.0926). Further analysis demonstrated no advantage in the five-, three-, and two-year survival rates of the NGS group compared to conventional gene detection group patients. However, the one-year survival rate of the NGS group was significantly increased (83.2% vs 68.1%, HR = 0.4890, 95% CI = 0.3170-0.7544, P = 0.0015). Conclusion: Driver gene-guided targeted precision therapy significantly prolonged the median OS of advanced NSCLC patients compared to non-targeted therapy. NGS detection did not improve the median OS of advanced NSCLC patients compared to conventional
