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

The presence of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) rearrangement defines a molecular subtype of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). ALK inhibitors (ALKIs) confer significant clinical benefits in patients with ALK-positive advanced NSCLC; therefore, it is of great clinical significance to select accurate, rapid, and appropriate ALK testing methods to screen for patients who are suitable for anti-ALK treatment. In recent years, great progress has been made in the development and clinical application of ALKIs, as well as in our understanding of acquired drug resistance mechanisms. Meanwhile, new ALK companion diagnostic platforms have been developed and applied in clinical practice. Although many studies have shown that there is a high rate of concordance among these platforms, new problems continue to appear during testing. To maximize the benefit for patients, accurate testing results can be obtained by first selecting the appropriate testing method and then formulating, optimizing, and complying with the standardized testing process in accordance with the testing population and specimen types. With the ongoing accumulation of clinical practice data, experience from quality control of ALK testing, and results from multicenter research, an updated expert consensus is necessary. The experts who participated in the discussion and development of this guideline have a rich background in theoretical and clinical testing experience, which ensures the practical value of the information presented in this guideline.
