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

backgroundResistance to osimertinib in advanced EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) constitutes a significant challenge for clinicians either in terms of molecular diagnosis and subsequent therapeutic implications.

methodsThis is a prospective single-centre study with the primary objective of characterising resistance mechanisms to osimertinib in advanced EGFR-mutated NSCLC patients treated both in first- and in second-line. Next-Generation Sequencing analysis was conducted on paired tissue biopsies and plasma samples. A concordance analysis between tissue and plasma was performed.

resultsSixty-five advanced EGFR-mutated NSCLC patients treated with osimertinib in first- (n = 56) or in second-line (n = 9) were included. We managed to perform tissue and liquid biopsies in 65.5% and 89.7% of patients who experienced osimertinib progression, respectively. Acquired resistance mechanisms were identified in 80% of 25 patients with post-progression samples, with MET amplification (n = 8), EGFR C797S (n = 3), and SCLC transformation (n = 2) the most frequently identified. The mean concordance rates between tissue and plasma for the EGFR activating mutation and for the molecular resistance mechanisms were 87.5% and 22.7%, respectively.

conclusionsResistance to osimertinib demonstrated to be highly heterogeneous, with MET amplification the main mechanism. Plasma genotyping is a relevant complementary tool which might integrate tissue analysis for the study of resistance mechanisms.
