Landscape of C-MET overexpression in non-small cell lung cancer: a large-scale study of clinicomolecular features and prognosis based on Chinese data.

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
Background: Real-world data on C-MET protein overexpression in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, particularly among the Asian Chinese population, are limited. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the clinicomolecular characteristics and prognosis of C-MET overexpression in Chinese NSCLC patients, focusing on those with positive C-MET overexpression (immunohistochemistry (IHC) 3+). Design: A retrospective and observational study. Methods: Data were collected from NSCLC patients diagnosed at the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University between November 2006 and April 2021. We identified C-MET overexpression using IHC and C-MET overexpression positivity was defined as IHC 3+ with ⩾50% tumor cells. Additionally, patient genotypes were collected for subgroup analysis. Results: Data from 9785 NSCLC patients were collected. C-MET (-) accounted for 5% (503/9785), C-MET (+) for 27% (2654/9785), C-MET (++) for 36% (3464/9785), and C-MET (+++) for 32% (3164/9785). Genetic testing was available for 4326 patients. Wild-type was observed in 37% (1591 cases), with epidermal growth factor receptor ( Conclusion: Our study elucidates the clinicomolecular characteristics and prognosis of C-MET overexpression in NSCLC patients, particularly those with positive C-MET overexpression (IHC 3+). This provides insight into the prevalence of C-MET overexpression in Chinese NSCLC patients and offers a basis for considering C-MET overexpression as a prognostic and predictive marker in NSCLC.
