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

Aberrant activation of the RET oncogene by mutations or gene fusions drives various malignancies, including 1%-2% of all non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs) that harbor RET gene fusions. Initial attempts to target RET fusion-positive NSCLC with poorly selective multikinase RET inhibitors were associated with significant toxicities and limited efficacy. Two highly potent and selective RET small-molecule inhibitors, selpercatinib and pralsetinib, were granted accelerated approval for advanced RET fusion-positive NSCLC by the US Food and Drug Administration, and have been shown to be highly effective both in treatment-naive and previously treated patients with NSCLC. Selpercatinib has shown superiority over chemotherapy in a phase 3 study (LIBRETTO-431) in previously untreated patients with RET fusion-positive NSCLC, which established its place as the standard of care in this patient population. This review discusses the biology and clinical characteristics of RET-rearranged NSCLC and summarizes the evolution of treatment strategies, current understanding of mechanisms of resistance, and development of new-generation agents to overcome resistance.
