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

purposeLung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Lung adenocarcinoma harboring EGFR-activating mutations will inevitably acquire resistance to first-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). EGFR T790M mutation and cMET amplification are common mechanisms. Further study is needed to explore unknown genomic alterations contributing to drug resistance.

methodsTumor and blood samples from 69 stage IIIB-IV NSCLC patients defined as acquired resistance to first-generation EGFR TKIs (gefitinib, erlotinib or ecotinib) were collected. The cobas

resultsThe overall T790M-positive rate was 52.2% considering all testing methods. Out of 21 samples in which tumor re-biopsy was performed, 14 were T790M positive (66.7%). cMET amplification was identified in three out of seven T790M-negative samples. Exome sequencing in four T790M wildtype/cMET-unamplified samples and paired white blood cells identified a cohort of candidate key mutated genes including BRAF, FGFR1, PAK1, PCNT, PEBP4 and SOX3.

conclusionsEGFR T790M mutation and cMET amplification are main mechanisms leading to EGFR TKI resistance in lung adenocarcinoma. These key mutated genes identified in the present study would need further validation in large number of patients.
