Efficacy of osimertinib in patients with EGFR-mutation positive non-small cell lung cancer with malignant pleural effusion.
Article in Thoracic cancer, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07482605 (A Prospective, Multicenter Study on the Safety and Efficacy of Furmonertinib Combined With Local Chest Radiotherapy in EGFR+ Non-small Cell Lung Adenocarcinoma Patients With Malignant Pleural Effusion), which is not on this map.

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
backgroundAs an epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI), osimertinib has emerged as a standard EGFR-mutation positive treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the efficacy of osimertinib for malignant pleural effusion (MPE) remains understudied. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of osimertinib on time to treatment failure (TTF) and overall survival (OS) in patients with EGFR-mutation positive NSCLC, comparing those with and without MPE.
methodsThis retrospective analysis included patients with advanced or recurrent NSCLC treated with osimertinib at our hospital between April 2016 and June 2021. TTF was defined as the duration from osimertinib initiation to discontinuation, and OS as the duration until death, irrespective of the reason.
resultsAmong 229 patients receiving osimertinib, 84 had MPE before administration, 39 acquired EGFR exon20 T790M mutation following previous EGFR-TKI therapy, and 45 were EGFR-TKI-naive. Among EGFR-TKI-naive patients, median TTF was 14.8 and 19.8 months for those with and without MPE, respectively (hazard ratio [HR] 1.40; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.90-2.18; p = 0.12). Median OS was 32.0 and 42.0 months for patients with and without MPE, respectively (HR 1.43; 95% CI: 0.86-2.38; p = 0.16). Among patients with T790M mutation, median TTF was 12.3 and 13.1 months for patients with and without MPE, respectively (HR 1.03; 95% CI: 0.69-1.55; p = 0.88). Median OS for patients with and without MPE was 23.2 and 24.7 months, respectively (HR 1.09; 95% CI: 0.72-1.67; p = 0.68).
conclusionAmong patients with EGFR-mutation positive NSCLC, the evidence of MPE has little effect on survival with osimertinib.
