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

Chemoradiotherapy (CRT) with consolidative immunotherapy(IO) remains the standard care for unresectable stage III NSCLC, yet survival remains suboptimal in molecular subgroups. Emerging targeted therapies offer the potential for converting unresectable cases to resectable status. We present a 54-year-old female with stage IIIB (T1cN3M0) ERBB2 exon 20-mutated lung adenocarcinoma (PD-L1 50%) and supraclavicular metastasis. After three cycles of ERBB2-targeted antibody-drug conjugate combined with programmed death-1 (PD-1) inhibitor, transient Grade 1 interstitial lung disease resolved with steroids. Serial imaging revealed 58% tumor regression, enabling successful R0 resection via VATS lobectomy with lymphadenectomy. Histopathological analysis confirmed complete pathological response in primary and nodal lesions, corroborated by undetectable postoperative minimal residual disease. The patient remained recurrence-free at a 9-month follow-up. This induction targeted-IO strategy enabled surgical conversion in ERBB2-mutant NSCLC with durable remission and acceptable toxicity, warranting investigation in molecular subgroups with limited CRT-IO benefit.
