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

Background: With the advent of targeted therapies, the survival rates of patients with locally advanced lung cancer have significantly improved. However, there is limited research on the efficacy of neoadjuvant targeted therapy in resectable advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with positive driver genes. This article reports a case of stage IIIA NSCLC with an epidermal growth factor receptor ( Case Description: We report a case of a 54-year-old female diagnosed preoperatively with stage IIIA adenocarcinoma of the left upper lung (cT1cN2M0). The patient's course was complicated by acute sick sinus syndrome and was cured by implanting a permanent pacemaker. After multidisciplinary discussion, it was decided to administer neoadjuvant targeted therapy with osimertinib. Following 6 weeks of treatment, the tumor assessment showed partial response (PR), making the patient eligible for surgery. The patient underwent single-port thoracoscopic left upper lobectomy + mediastinal lymphadenectomy. Intraoperatively, the left hilar lymph nodes were found to be tightly adherent to the apical-anterior branch of the left upper pulmonary artery. The main trunk of the left pulmonary artery was temporarily occluded with a vascular clamp to safely dissect the left upper pulmonary artery. The procedure was completed without conversion to open thoracotomy, achieving an R0 resection. Postoperative pathology confirmed stage IIIA (ypT1bN2M0), and the patient continued adjuvant therapy with osimertinib. Conclusions: Neoadjuvant targeted therapy with osimertinib is expected to become one of the options for neoadjuvant therapy in locally advanced NSCLC with sensitizing
