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

Introduction: Pralsetinib is a RET inhibitor found to have antitumor activity in advanced, metastatic, Objective: To assess real-world efficacy of pralsetinib and treatment sequences in patients with RET fusion-positive NSCLC. Design: Retrospective study of consecutive patients enrolled in the French expanded-access program for pralsetinib from December 1, 2019, to December 31, 2021. Participants: A total of 41 patients with advanced, refractory, Results: Pralsetinib was administered as second line in 23 patients (56%) and as third line and beyond in 15 patients (37%). After a median follow-up of 26.3 months, pralsetinib was ongoing in 13 patients. Median real-world progression-free survival was 11.8 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 9.3-15.5) months. Objective response rate was 68% (95% CI: 50%-82%), and disease control rate was 89% (95% CI: 75%-97%). Subsequent line of systemic therapy was initiated in 11 patients. Median overall survival from pralsetinib initiation was 23.8 (95% CI: 16.5-not reached) months. Conclusion: In this extensive real-world cohort of patients with advanced or metastatic NSCLC harboring RET fusions, we highlight the antitumor efficacy of pralsetinib, particularly when administered in later treatment lines. We also observe the aggressive nature of disease progression, frequent utilization of chemotherapy and antiangiogenic agents as initial subsequent therapies, and limited insight into resistance mechanisms due to infrequent rebiopsy and genomic profiling at progression.
