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

Evidence suggests that activation of the MET signaling pathway might be associated with EGFR-TKI resistance. EGFR TKI-resistant lung cancers often remain sensitive to inhibition of the EGFR pathway; thus, c-MET inhibitors are likely to be effective when combined with continued EGFR-TKI treatment. Here, we described a 56-year-old male who became refractory after first-line gefitinib therapy and was confirmed to have c-MET overexpression without a T790M mutation, c-MET amplification or MET exon 14 alterations. A complete response to crizotinib occurred in this patient. Our case report uncovered the underlying mechanism of c-MET overexpression in affecting EGFR-TKI sensitivity, and crizotinib may assist in overcoming this problem.
