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: Resistance to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors is influenced by tumor-intrinsic and -extrinsic factors. We investigated the impact of tumor cell histology and tumor microenvironment on the efficacy of osimertinib. Methods: We evaluated surgically resected adenocarcinoma from patients treated with first-line osimertinib at the National Cancer Center Hospital East (2016-2023), evaluating clinicopathologic characteristics, tumor cell histology, podoplanin expression in cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) identified by immunohistochemistry, and outcomes. We also investigated HGF mRNA expression levels, using The Cancer Genome Atlas Program and Singapore Oncology Data Portal cohorts. Results: The study included 93 patients. Solid (n = 19) versus non-solid predominant (n = 74) histology was not associated with worse disease-free survival after surgery ( Conclusions: Solid predominant histology and high-podoplanin expression in CAFs predicted osimertinib resistance, potentially guiding the selection of patients for more intensive treatments beyond osimertinib monotherapy.
