Review in Nature reviews. Clinical oncology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06431451 (The Correlation Between Ripretinib Exposure and the Efficacy and Safety in Patients with Advanced Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract

When gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST), the most common form of sarcoma, was first recognized as a distinct pathological entity in the 1990s, patients with advanced-stage disease had a very poor prognosis owing to a lack of effective medical therapies. The discovery of KIT mutations as the first and most prevalent drivers of GIST and the subsequent development of the first KIT tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), imatinib, revolutionized the treatment of patients with this disease. We can now identify the driver mutation in 99% of patients with GIST via molecular diagnostic testing, and therapies have been developed to treat many, but not all, molecular subtypes of the disease. At present, seven drugs are approved by the FDA for the treatment of advanced-stage GIST (imatinib, sunitinib, regorafenib, ripretinib, avapritinib, larotrectinib and entrectinib), all of which are TKIs. Although these agents can be very effective for treating certain GIST subtypes, challenges remain and new therapeutic approaches are needed. In this Review, we discuss the molecular subtypes of GIST and the evolution of current treatments, as well as their therapeutic limitations. We also highlight emerging therapeutic approaches that might overcome clinical challenges through novel strategies predicated on the biological features of the distinct GIST molecular subtypes.
