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

backgroundAdvanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) can be treated with novel targeted therapies that are tailored to the genetic characteristics of malignancy. While tissue-based genomic testing is considered the gold standard for the detection of oncogenic driver mutations, several challenges like inadequate tissue availability, the invasiveness of procuring tumors, and prolonged turnaround time of analysis are encountered. Considering these limitations, guidelines have recognized liquid biopsies using circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) as a useful tool to complement conventional tissue testing. Even though cfDNA next-generation sequencing (NGS) can have high sensitivity and specificity, optimal patient benefit requires the interpretation of the molecular profiling results in the context of clinical and diagnostic features to achieve the best outcomes. CASE DESCRIPTIONS: In this case series, we present six patients with advanced NSCLC whose plasma or tissue biopsy samples were analyzed with commercially available comprehensive NGS assays that elucidate the role of testing at various time points in the treatment journey. In all six cases, comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) provided clinically useful information to guide treatment decisions.

conclusionAdding to the existing real-world evidence, this case series reinforces that CGP-driven treatment strategies in advanced NSCLC, coupled with other available clinical information, can optimize treatment decisions.
