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
purposeExtracellular heat shock protein 90 AA1(eHSP90α) is intricately linked to tumor progression and prognosis. This study aimed to investigate the difference in the value of eHSP90α in post-treatment response assessment and prognosis prediction between exon 19 deletion(19DEL) and exon 21 Leu858Arg(L858R) mutation types in lung adenocarcinoma(LUAD).
methodsWe analyzed the relationship between the expression of eHSP90α and clinicopathological features in 89 patients with L858R mutation and 196 patients with 19DEL mutation in LUAD. The Kaplan-Meier survival curve was used to determine their respective cut-off values and analyze the relationship between eHSP90α expression and the survival time of the two mutation types. The area under the curve (AUC) was used to evaluate the diagnostic performance of biomarkers. Then, the prognostic model was developed using the univariate-Cox multivariate-Cox and LASSO-multivariate logistic methods.
resultsIn LUAD patients, eHSP90α was positively correlated with carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA), carbohydrate antigen 125(CA125), and carbohydrate antigen 153(CA153). The truncated values of eHSP90α in L858R and 19DEL patients were 44.5 ng/mL and 40.8 ng/mL, respectively. Among L858R patients, eHSP90α had the best diagnostic performance (AUC = 0.765), and higher eHSP90α and T helper cells(Th cells) expression were significantly related to shorter overall survival(OS) and worse treatment response. Also, high eHSP90a expression and short progression-free survival(PFS) were significantly correlated. Among 19DEL patients, CEA had the best diagnostic efficacy (AUC = 0.734), and CEA and Th cells were independent prognostic factors that predicted shorter OS. Furthermore, high CA125 was significantly associated with short PFS and poor curative effect.
conclusionseHSP90α has a better prognostic value in LUAD L858R patients than 19DEL, which provides a new idea for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
