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

Osimertinib is a third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) used in the treatment of EGFR mutation-positive advanced non-small cell lung cancer. Osimertinib-induced cutaneous vasculitis is a rare skin adverse reaction. We present a case study of a 49-year-old female who developed palpable purpura on her lower extremities on the 11th day of osimertinib treatment. Systemic involvement was not observed in the test results. The multidisciplinary team considered the clinical presentation of purpura as a potential case of cutaneous vasculitis. Osimertinib was immediately discontinued, and intravenous methylprednisolone along with oral cetirizine treatment was initiated. After 8 days since discontinuation of osimertinib, the patient's skin purpura completely subsided. Subsequently, she was switched to almonertinib for treatment. We also conducted a literature review cutaneous vasculitis induced by osimertinib and other EGFR-TKIs. We hope to provide some safety alert information for clinical practice and recommend enhanced monitoring during the medication process.
