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.
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
Quickly identifying driver gene mutations in solid cancers is important. However, next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based mutation detection methods are time-consuming and expensive. Peptide nucleic acid (PNA) probe-based mutant mRNA detection systems are quick and inexpensive. We previously demonstrated that epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutations were efficiently visualized in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) specimens from transplanted non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tumors using an EGFR mutation-specific PNA:DNA probe. Herein, the efficiency of PNA:DNA probes in detecting EGFR-mutations in FFPE specimens from patients with NSCLC and the colocalization of EGFR-mutations with tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) status were determined. The EGFR mutation L858R-specific PNA:DNA probe detected heterogeneously localized mutations with a sensitivity similar to detection with the anti-L858R antibody. TIL analysis of L858R-mutated tumors revealed that CD8
