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

Monotherapy with anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) monoclonal antibody has been approved for the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer with positive programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression and oncogene wild type, which revealed survival benefit compared with chemotherapy. Nevertheless, certain patients develop rapid progression on anti-PD-1 inhibitor monotherapy. This novel pattern is called hyperprogressive disease (HPD), and the underlying mechanism and molecular characteristics still leaves not clear. Here, we reported two heavily pretreated advanced lung adenocarcinoma cases with HER2 exon 20 insertion who presented HPD after two cycles of anti-PD-1 inhibitor sintilimab monotherapy, and they both carried co-alterations in the PI3K/AKT/mTOR and cell cycle signaling pathway. We speculated that HER2 exon 20 insertion might be viewed as a potential biomarker to avoid single-agent immunotherapy in certain patients with driver mutations, or timely guide proper treatment strategies.
