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

Purpose: Lung Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) is a Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) subtype with a strong clinical association with smoking habits and a very low incidence in never-smokers. Molecular profiling of SCC in never-smokers could unveil tumor vulnerabilities and new treatment strategies. Patients and Methods: We considered a patient cohort of 17 former or current smokers (51.5%) and 16 never-smoker SCC patients (48.5%). TruSight Oncology Results: The most frequently altered genes were Conclusion: Genomic and transcriptomic profiles deeply differentiate SCC occurring in never-smokers with respect to SCC in smoker patients. Moreover, SCC could carry canonical NSCLC) activating mutations. Our data suggest that deep molecular analyses resolve tumor heterogeneity and may help with new algorithm-based treatment strategies for SCC.
