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

Lung cancer treatment has changed in the last twenty years since the discovery of EGFR mutations. In this article, we will review the current state of the art for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) actionable genomic alterations (AGA). AGAs are mostly found in lung adenocarcinomas, a subtype of non-small cell lung cancers. We will focus on the current treatment for EGFR mutations, ALK fusions, ROS1 fusions, BRAF V600E mutations, MET exon 14-skipping mutations, RET fusions, KRAS G12C mutations, ERBB2 mutations (also called HER2 mutations), and NTRK fusions. We will also touch on the key toxicities associated with these medications. Treatments are mostly available for the metastatic stage, but we will also discuss adjuvant therapy for EGFR mutations and ALK fusions, as well as stage III post-chemoradiotherapy treatment for EGFR lung cancer.
