ALK fusion small cell transformation of lung adenocarcinoma: A case report and literature review.
Review in Zhong nan da xue xue bao. Yi xue ban = Journal of Central South University. Medical sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Patients with anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) fusion lung adenocarcinoma may develop drug resistance after treatment with ALK-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (ALK-TKI), and the mechanisms of this resistance are not yet fully defined. The Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University admitted a patient who was resistant to ALK fusion after ALK-TKI treatment, leading to disease progression and subsequent biopsy indicating a transformation to small cell lung cancer in September 2021. The patient, a 54-year-old female, initially presented with symptoms of cough, sputum production, and chest pain for 4 months. Chest CT showed a neoplastic lesion in the posterior segment of the right upper lobe to right lower lobe with obstructive pneumonia, metastasis in the right lower lobe, increased and enlarged mediastinal and right hilar lymph nodes, and thickening of the right hilar soft tissue. Bronchoscopy and pathological biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of lung adenocarcinoma. The results of next-generation sequencing indicated that echinoderm microtubule associated protein like 4-anaplastic lymphoma kinase (EML4-ALK) fusion is associated with tumor protein 53 (
