EGFR-mutated lung adenocarcinoma with choroidal oligometastasis during treatment with gefitinib: a case report.
Article in International cancer conference journal, 2024. 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
The patient was a 74-year-old woman who was diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma, clinical Stage IIIA. Induction chemoradiation was performed followed by right upper lobectomy and lymph node dissection. Because of positive pleural effusion cytology, which was proven after surgery, the patient was diagnosed with pathological Stage IVA with EGFR L858R mutation. At 17 months after the administration of gefitinib, left choroidal metastasis appeared. Stereotactic irradiation and ruthenium small-beam radiation were effective; however, the metastatic lesion showed regrowth 7 months after these treatments. Because the patient's choroidal oligometastasis was resistant to conservative therapy, left ophthalmectomy was performed. EGFR mutations (L858R and E709K) were detected in the resected choroidal tumor. The patient continued to take gefitinib. However, a neoplastic lesion developed on the optic nerve adjacent to the resected posterior eye segment. The lesion was treated with stereotactic radiation, gefitinib was switched to afatinib 30 mg, and the patient remains alive and disease free for 11 months.
