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

RET rearrangements are rare, and occur in 1%-2% of all non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Pralsetinib has a significant anti-tumor effect in patients with advanced NSCLC and a RET rearrangement. Previous studies have confirmed the efficiency of neoadjuvant target therapy for NSCLC. Herein we present a case involving a female patient who was diagnosed with stage IIIA lung adenocarcinoma and harbored a KIF5B-RET rearrangement based on next-generation sequencing. Radiologic downstaging was indicated after pralsetinib treatment. Therefore, a right lower lobectomy and systemic lymphadenectomy were successfully performed. The postoperative pathologic results revealed a response rate of 74% for primary tumor and no residual viable tumor cells were observed in lymph nodes. The tumor, nodes, and metastases (TNM) stage was ypT1cN1M0. The tumor micro-environment (TME) of the primary tumor was also assessed.
