Absence of EGFR C797S Mutation in Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor-Naïve Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Tissues.

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
EGFR tyrosine-kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are used as targeted therapeutics for the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with EGFR-activating mutations. EGFR C797S is common causes of acquired resistance to third-generation TKIs. There is wide-spread opinion that resistance-conferring mutation present even in a small proportion of cancer cells before the start of therapy could potentially predict poor response to a targeted drug. In our study, we tested whether C797S can be found in previously untreated NSCLCs. We analyzed DNA samples extracted from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor tissue sections of 470 lung adenocarcinoma patients, including 235 samples with activating EGFR mutations. Screening was performed using highly sensitive droplet digital PCR assay. No tumor samples with baseline C797S were identified. C797S does not occur in TKI-naïve NSCLCs and provide evidence that screening for this mutation before TKIs administration may not be necessary.
