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

This case report presents a patient with metastatic adenocarcinoma of unclear primary focus at initial presentation and revealed lung adenocarcinoma in subsequent follow-up. The patient has been surviving for more than 10 years after pemetrexed-based treatment and local radiotherapy. Sequential gene tests showed kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS) G13D mutation and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) 19ins. To further investigate the correlation between pemetrexed efficacy and genetic polymorphisms, genotyping tests on folate-metabolism-related genes [methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) (C677T) and MTHFR (A1298C)] were performed, revealing that the patient exhibited the T/T genotype for MTHFR (C677T) and the A/A genotype for MTHFR (A1298C). The clinical data and gene analysis were discussed with literature review to explain the underlying explanation for the long survival.
