Review in Translational oncology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07551414 (A Prospective Study of Zorifertinib Plus Intra-Ommaya CSF Chemotherapy for Leptomeningeal Progression in NSCLC After Third-Generation EGFR-TKI Therapy), 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.

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.

Abstract

Leptomeningeal metastasis (LM) is a significant complication that advances fast and has a poor prognosis for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations. Current therapies for LM are inconsistent and ineffective, and established techniques such as radiation, chemotherapy, and surgery continue to fall short of potential outcomes. Nonetheless, EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) exhibit potent anti-tumor activity and hold considerable promise for NSCLC patients with EGFR mutations. Thus, assessing EGFR-TKIs effectiveness in treating these central nervous system (CNS) problems is crucial. This review integrates current literature on the intracranial efficacy of EGFR-TKIs to explore the varying impacts of approved EGFR-TKIs in LM patients and the therapeutic possibilities presented by other EGFR-TKIs in development. To delineate the optimal clinical treatment strategy, further exploration is needed regarding the optimal sequencing of EGFR-TKIs and the selection of alternative therapy options following initial treatment failure with EGFR-TKIs.
