Successful treatment with crizotinib after alectinib-induced interstitial lung disease.
Article in SAGE open medical case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Although alectinib is a well-tolerated and highly effective inhibitor of a second-generation anaplastic lymphoma kinase, special attention should be paid to the possibility of potentially severe and fatal adverse events such as interstitial pneumonia. We report a case of a patient with advanced non-small cell lung cancer treated with alectinib who developed immunohistochemically positive anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK(IHC +)) . However, due to the rapid emergence of drug-induced interstitial lung disease, alectinib treatment was halted. Once the interstitial lung disease had been successfully treated, we reluctantly chose crizotinib as a second-line treatment for ALK + NSCLC in this patient as he refused all other available treatments. Contrary to expectation, crizotinib performed well both in terms of its safety and efficacy. Our results suggest that crizotinib may provide a promising therapy option for patients with ALK + NSCLC accompanied by alectinib-induced interstitial lung disease. To our knowledge, this is a rare report of successful treatment of ALK + NSCLC with crizotinib after alectinib-induced interstitial lung disease.
