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

Kinase domain duplications of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR-KDD) have been identified and implicated to be oncogenic in nonsmall cell lung cancers (NSCLCs). However, its prevalence and clinical contributions in lung cancer are largely unknown. Here, we conducted a multicenter record review of 10,759 NSCLC patients who underwent genetic testing using next-generation sequencing (NGS) targeting EGFR exons and the introns involved in EGFR-KDD rearrangements. EGFR-KDDs were identified in a total of 13 patients, which is approximately 0.12% of the total population reviewed, and also consisted of 0.24% (13/5394) of EGFR mutation-positive patients. A total of 85% of patients (11/13) were identified with the canonical EGFR-KDD duplication of exons 18-25, while the remaining two cases harbored duplications of EGFR exons 14-26 and exons 17-25, which have not been previously described. Importantly, none of the 13 patients had other coexisting driver mutations, highlighting the potential oncogenic role of this type of alteration. Three out of five patients who had exon 18-25 duplications showed partial antitumor responses to targeted therapies, while the other two patients demonstrated no clinical improvement. Furthermore, our data suggested that the EGFR T790 M mutation and EGFR amplification may represent the major resistance mechanisms against targeted therapies in tumors bearing EGFR-KDD. In summary, our findings provide valuable insight into the prevalence of EGFR-KDDs in NSCLCs and their clinical outcomes to targeted therapies.
