Successful Switch to Afatinib and Osimertinib Rechallenge with Corticosteroids after Osimertinib-induced Interstitial Lung Disease: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Review in Internal medicine (Tokyo, Japan), 2025. 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
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are highly effective against EGFR-mutant non-small-cell lung carcinoma but can cause serious adverse events, such as interstitial lung disease (ILD). Treatment strategies for osimertinib-induced ILD are not well established. Cytotoxic anticancer drugs are considered first, although several cases of successful rechallenge with EGFR-TKIs have been reported. We herein report a 67-year-old woman with symptomatic osimertinib-induced ILD who was switched to afatinib and later rechallenged with osimertinib and corticosteroids. Neither treatment resulted in ILD relapse, suggesting that these may be viable treatment options when alternative treatments are limited.
