Case report: Treatment with ensartinib shows good response to SQSTM1-ALK fusion in lung adenocarcinoma.
Article in Frontiers in pharmacology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Lung cancer is a prevalent malignancy, with the rearrangement of the anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene being responsible for a minority of cases of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). NSCLC patients harboring ALK fusion proteins demonstrate sensitivity to ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). In this report, we describe the case of a female patient with metastatic lung adenocarcinoma, identified through NGS to carry a rare inverted SQSTM1-ALK (S5, A20) fusion. The patient received ensartinib as first-line therapy, resulting in a partial response (PR). At the time of publication, the patient's condition remained favorable. We have, for the first time, identified the presence of SQSTM1-ALK fusion in pericardial effusion, with the favorable response to ensartinib validating the oncogenic potential of SQSTM1-ALK fusion. The substantial advancements and extensive utilization of NGS have facilitated the identification of rare fusion variants.
