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

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of first-line third-generation EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) combined with pemetrexed-platinum chemotherapy in patients with EGFR-mutant advanced lung adenocarcinoma and brain parenchymal metastases. Methods: A bicenter retrospective cohort study was conducted. A total of 150 eligible patients were enrolled and balanced by 1:1 propensity score matching. Tumor response, survival outcomes, and treatment-related adverse events were compared between groups. Results: After matching, 60 patients were assigned to each group. The intracranial objective response rate was 78.3% in the combination group Conclusion: First-line third-generation EGFR-TKI plus pemetrexed-platinum chemotherapy is associated with superior intracranial and systemic survival benefits in EGFR-mutant lung adenocarcinoma patients with brain parenchymal metastases, with a favorable safety profile. This study provides real-world evidence to support clinical treatment decision-making.
