Patients with non‑small cell lung cancer with the exon 21 L858R mutation: From distinct mechanisms to epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor treatments (Review).
Review in Oncology letters, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The most common oncogenic driver in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene mutations, which are more common in Asian (30-50%) than in Caucasian (10-15%) populations. Exon 19 deletion (ex19del) and exon 21 L858R (ex21 L858R) mutations account for ~45 and 40% of all EGFR mutations, respectively. Moreover, EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) may be more effective and improve the quality of life of patients with NSCLC more than chemotherapy regimens. By contrast, patients with the ex21 L858R mutation may have a lower sensitivity and duration of response to EGFR-TKIs as well as a shorter survival compared with those with the ex19del mutation. However, current guidelines classify ex21 L858R and ex19del as the same condition and recommend the same treatment strategy for both. Aiming for precision medicine, the present review introduces and compares different EGFR-TKIs for the ex21 L858R mutation to assess more personalized treatment options for the population with this mutation.
