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

NTRK fusions drive oncogenesis in a variety of adult cancers. The approval of the first-generation TRK inhibitors, larotrectinib and entrectinib, for any cancer with an NTRK fusion represented a focal point in tumor-agnostic drug development. These agents achieve high response rates and durable disease control, and display intracranial activity. The use of these agents has resulted in a deeper understanding of the clinical consequences of TRK inhibition. These on-target side effects include dizziness, weight gain, and withdrawal pain. The study of TRK inhibitor resistance led to the development of next generation drugs, such as selitrectinib, repotrectinib, taletrectinib, and other agents that maintain disease control against selected acquired kinase domain mutations. This review discusses the clinical efficacy of TRK inhibitors, their safety profiles, and resistance mechanisms with a focus on data in adult cancers.
