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

Background: The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) ex20ins mutation, as a rare subtype of mutation, has gradually attracted attention. Its heterogeneity is high, its prognosis is extremely poor, and the efficacy of existing traditional treatment plans is limited. In this study, we aimed to evaluate efficacy of high dose furmonertinib as a first-line treatment for EGFR ex20ins-positive NSCLC. Methods: This is a retrospective, multi-center, non-interventional study. From May 2021 to March 2023, 9 NSCLC patients with EGFR ex20ins were enrolled. Efficacy and safety of 160 mg furmonertinib were evaluated. Objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), median progression-free survival (PFS) and treatment related adverse events (TRAEs) were assessed. Results: Of the evaluated patients, six patients experienced partial remission (PR), two patients experienced stable disease (SD) and one patient experienced progress disease (PD). Data indicated 66.7% ORR and 88.9% DCR. The median progression free survival (PFS) was 7.2 months (95% CI: 6.616 - 7.784). Besides, a longgest PFS with 18 months was found in one patient with p.H773_V774insGTNPH mutation. No ≥ level 3 adverse events have been found. Conclusions: The study proved the potential efficacy of 160mg furmonertinib in patients with advanced NSCLC with EGFR ex20ins. Meanwhile, 160mg furmonertinib had a good safety profile.
