Rare Synchronous Lung Cancers in a Nonsmoker with Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor and Mesenchymal-Epithelial Transition Alterations: A Case Report.
Article in Case reports in oncology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Introduction: Lung cancer is the second most common cancer; however, synchronous lung cancer is rare and challenging to treat. Case Presentation: We report the case of an 80-year-old female patient who presented with two lung lesions with primary tumor characteristics, which revealed squamous cell carcinoma and synchronous adenocarcinoma after histological sampling. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) analysis revealed a MET Exon 14 skipping mutation in squamous cell carcinoma and an epidermal growth factor receptor mutation in adenocarcinoma. Capmatinib and stereotactic radiotherapy were initiated for the adenocarcinoma with a good clinical response. Capmatinib treatment had to be discontinued because of stage 3 edema of the lower limbs, after which a left lobectomy was performed. Currently, the patient is considered to be in remission. Conclusion: This case highlights the need for histological analysis of every lung lesion with primary tumor characteristics, as well as for NGS analysis in search of specific mutations enabling the introduction of targeted therapies. mesenchymal-epithelial transition.
