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

Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) represents the most prevalent form of lung cancer and remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related morbidity and mortality worldwide. This disease has evolved far beyond traditional histopathological classification. While histology remains foundational, it is no longer sufficient to guide optimal patient management in the era of precision oncology. This review uniquely integrates the full spectrum of NSCLC evaluation, from underlying pathophysiological mechanisms to histological, immunohistochemical, and molecular analyses, culminating in individualized therapeutic planning. We highlight actionable genetic alterations-including EGFR, ALK, ROS1, BRAF, and KRAS-and their roles in guiding targeted therapies, alongside the transformative impact of immune checkpoint inhibitors in selected patients. By emphasizing the interplay between tumor biology, diagnostic workflows, and treatment selection, this review underscores the necessity of comprehensive molecular testing and data integration. Finally, we discuss emerging biomarkers and rational combination strategies that promise to further refine patient stratification and improve outcomes.
