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

In non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), oncogenic driver mutations including those in KRAS and EGFR are typically mutually exclusive. However, recent reports indicate that multiple driver mutations are found in a certain percentage of cancers, and that the therapeutic responses of such cases with co-mutations of driver genes are largely unclear. Here, using CRISPR-Cas9-mediated genome editing, we generated isogenic cell lines harboring one or two copies of an EGFR-activating mutation from the human NSCLC cell line A549, which is known to harbor a homozygous KRAS gene mutation. In comparison with parent cells with KRAS mutation alone, cells with concomitant EGFR mutation exhibited higher sensitivity to EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) but not to conventional anti-cancer drugs. In particular, cells with two copies of EGFR mutation were markedly more sensitive to EGFR-TKIs compared with parent cells. Thus, the presence of concomitant EGFR mutation can affect the TKI response of KRAS-mutated cells, implying that EGFR-TKI may represent an effective treatment option against NSCLC with EGFR/KRAS co-mutation.
