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

objectiveTo investigate the clinical effect of Almonertinib in in patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation-positive residual ground-glass opacities following resection of stage I lung cancer.

methodsA retrospective analysis of 75 patients with EGFR mutation-positive residual ground-glass opacities post-stage I lung cancer surgery was conducted at Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital between January 2021 and December 2023. Patients were categorized into the control group (CG, n = 33, treated with pemetrexed and cisplatin) and the observation group (OG, n = 42, treated with Almonertinib). Cellular immune markers, tumor markers, CT nodule characteristics (size, density), malignancy risk scores before (T0) and after treatment (T1), treatment efficacy at T1, and adverse drug reactions were evaluated.

resultsAt T1, both groups showed an increase in CD3+ and CD4+ levels, and a decrease in CD8+ levels compared to T0. The OG group had significantly higher CD3+ and CD4+ levels and lower CD8+ levels compared to the CG group (all P < 0.05). Serum levels of IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-α decreased significantly in both groups at T1, with greater reductions observed in the OG group (all P < 0.05). Additionally, the OG group demonstrated a more substantial reduction in serum carcinoembryonic antigen, carbohydrate antigen 125, carbohydrate antigen 50, cytokeratin 19 fragment antigen 21-1, neuron-specific enolase, and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 levels compared to the CG group (all P < 0.05). Nodule size and density also decreased in both groups, with more significant reductions in the OG group at T1 (all P < 0.05). The Mayo and Brock model predictions indicated a significantly lower risk of malignancy at T1 in the OG group compared to T0 (all P < 0.05). The objective response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR) were significantly higher in the OG group (P < 0.05), and adverse reaction rates were lower in the OG group compared to the CG group at T1 (all P < 0.05).

conclusionAlmonertinib demonstrates good clinical efficacy and safety for the treatment of EGFR mutation-positive residual ground-glass opacities following stage I lung cancer resection.
