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.
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
purposeThe objective of this study was to investigate the effects of inhibiting the MET receptor with capmatinib, a potent and clinically relevant ATP-competitive tyrosine kinase inhibitor, in combination with radiation in MET exon 14-mutated and MET-amplified non-small cell lung (NSCLC) cancer models. METHODS AND MATERIALS: In vitro effects of capmatinib and radiation on cell proliferation, colony formation, MET signaling, apoptosis, and DNA damage repair were evaluated. In vivo tumor responses were assessed in cell line xenograft and patient-derived xenograft models. Immunohistochemistry was used to confirm the in vitro results.
resultsIn vitro clonogenic survival assays demonstrated radiosensitization with capmatinib in both MET exon 14-mutated and MET-amplified NSCLC cell lines. No radiation-enhancing effect was observed in MET wild-type NSCLC and a human bronchial epithelial cell line. Minimal apoptosis was detected with the combination of capmatinib and radiation. Capmatinib plus radiation compared with radiation alone resulted in inhibition of DNA double-strand break repair, as measured by prolonged expression of γH2AX. In vivo, the combination of capmatinib and radiation significantly delayed tumor growth compared with vehicle control, capmatinib alone, or radiation alone. Immunohistochemistry indicated inhibition of phospho-MET and phospho-S6 and a decrease in Ki67 with inhibition of MET.
conclusionsInhibition of MET with capmatinib enhances the effect of radiation in both MET exon 14-mutated and MET-amplified NSCLC models.
