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

purposeTo investigate the survival benefit with first/second generation epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) and osimertinib in different treatment sequences.

methodsWe retrospectively screened 3807 patients diagnosed with cancer between 2013 and 2019 at Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital. In total, 76 patients with EGFR T790M mutation who received osimertinib after re-biopsy or liquid biopsy were enrolled for the analysis.

resultsThe median progression-free survival (PFS), median overall survival (OS), and median OS2 of the 76 patients were 11.93, 66.53, and 29.57 months, respectively. A significant difference was observed in the disease control rate between those who received osimertinib treatment after chemotherapy (group A) and those who received osimertinib immediately following EGFR-TKI therapy (group B) (34 [94.4%] vs. 31 [77.5%], p = 0.036). In addition, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease tended to be a poor prognostic factor for PFS and OS.

conclusionThis real-world analysis revealed that previous chemotherapy could affect the treatment outcomes of patients with non-small cell lung cancer treated with osimertinib. Osimertinib treatment following first/second generation EGFR-TKI treatment or chemotherapy resulted in improved survival benefit.
