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

Introduction: Pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinomas (PSCs) are a rare subgroup of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In contrast to other NSCLCs, PSCs have a poor prognosis due to limited efficacy of radiation and chemotherapy. Therefore, other therapeutic approaches are needed. Case Report: Here, we describe the case of a patient with PSC and pleural metastases. After first-line chemotherapy, the patient presented with new neurological symptoms such as a hemiparesis of the right arm and focal seizures. Following the detection of new brain metastases, we switched the therapy to sotorasib due to the presence of a Discussion/Conclusion: This case emphasizes the poor prognosis of patients with PSC due to a lack of therapeutic response to chemotherapy, radiation, and, as seen in this case, current targeted therapy as well. Our case emphasizes the need to further evaluate therapeutic responses of targeted therapy in this rare subtype of NSCLC.
