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

Lazertinib is a third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor effective in patients with non-small cell lung cancer. Although generally well tolerated, this case report presents a rare occurrence of common terminology criteria for adverse events grade 3 rhabdomyolysis in a 69-year-old Korean woman after taking lazertinib. The patient exhibited general weakness and tea-coloured urine with elevated levels of creatine phosphokinase (CPK), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), serum myoglobin and hyperkalemia. Lazertinib was temporarily discontinued, and urine alkalization was initiated. After the patient's condition improved, lazertinib was restarted at a reduced dose (80 mg) without any adverse effects. This case highlights the importance of assessing CPK and LDH levels in patients undergoing treatment with lazertinib, particularly in those with myalgia and elevated AST levels. Further studies are required to clarify the mechanisms underlying lazertinib-induced rhabdomyolysis.
