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
backgroundNon-small cell lung cancer patients with EGFR mutation have a high rate of brain metastases, and EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are the principal therapeutic approach. However, acquired targeted therapy resistance is the main reason for EGFR-TKIs' treatment failure. At present, the mechanism of intracranial acquired targeted therapy resistance is limited, mainly due to the lack of a cell line that can be used for its study.
methodsA brain parenchymal metastatic sample that progressed after third-generation EGFR-TKI treatment was used to establish a cell line named AlmoR1. The genetic characteristics of the cell line were evaluated by short tandem repeat (STR) profiling and whole-exome sequencing analysis. The phenotypic characteristics were characterized by CCK8, western blot, HE staining, immunohistochemistry (IHC), and orthotopic brain tumor model.
resultsThe cell line we successfully established, AlmoR1, can be passed in vitro stably. STR analysis revealed it was a novel NSCLC BM cell line. It harbors the EGFR E746_A750del (ex19del) mutation, and the IC50 to almonertinib and osimertinib of AlmoR1 was significantly higher than that of sensitive cells. In our orthotopic brain tumor model construction with AlmoR1 cells, 75% (3/4) tumor formation can be observed in the living system.
conclusionsThese data suggest that the established cell line, AlmoR1, preserved the resistance to broad third-generation EGFR-TKIs and good tumorigenicity in an intracranial orthotopic model, so that it can serve as a new tool to elucidate the pathogenesis, explore new treatment methods, and conduct the development of new drugs for targeted therapy resistance of brain metastases.
