Quantitative Measurement of HER2 Expression in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer With a High-Sensitivity Assay.
Article in Modern pathology : an official journal of the United States and Canadian Academy of Pathology, Inc, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Recently, low human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) protein expression has been proposed as a predictive biomarker for response to the antibody-drug conjugate trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) in metastatic breast cancer. HER2 expression in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients has never been carefully measured, and little is known about the frequency of cases with unamplified but detectable levels of the protein. Although some HER2-targeted therapies have been studied in NSCLC patients, they have been restricted to those with genomic ERBB2 gene alterations, which only represent relatively rare cases of NSCLC. Still, emerging investigations of T-DXd in NSCLC have shown promise in patients with unamplified HER2. Taken together, we hypothesize that there may be many cases of NSCLC with levels of HER2 protein expression comparable with levels seen in breast cancer that benefit from T-DXd. Here, we used a previously validated, analytic, quantitative immunofluorescence (QIF) assay that is more sensitive than legacy clinical HER2 immunohistochemistry assays. We measured HER2 protein levels in NSCLC cases to determine the proportion of cases with detectable HER2 expression. Using cell line calibration microarrays alongside our QIF method enabled us to convert HER2 signal into units of attomoles per mm
