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

purposeMolecular-based targeted therapy has improved life expectancy for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, it does not have to be inevitable that patients receiving third-generation EGFR-TKIs become drug resistant. EGFR C797S and MET amplification are common mechanisms of osimertinib. However, a large part of these potential drug mechanisms remains unknown, and further research is needed.

methodsTumour and blood samples from forty advanced NSCLC patients were identified as acquired drug resistant to osimertinib. The NGS panel was applied to detect EGFR C797S and MET amplification in tumour tissues or plasma samples. Whole-exome sequencing was conducted in five pairs of tumour tissues obtained before osimertinib administration and after osimertinib resistance in patients without C797S/cMET amplification.

resultsThe overall C797S mutation rate was 20%, and MET amplification was detected in six out of sixteen C797S-negative samples. PDGFRA in the PI3K-AKT-mTOR signalling pathway, RASAL2, RIN3 and SOS2 in the RAS-Raf-ERK signalling pathway, PTK2 in the ERBB signalling pathway and ABCC1 and ABCB5 in the ABC membrane pump system were identified as candidate crucial genes of drug resistance to osimertinib.

conclusionEGFR C797S mutation and MET amplification are leading mechanisms for osimertinib resistance in lung cancer. The crucial potential mutated genes defined in our present study may need further validation in a considerable number of lung cancer patients.
