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, a third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI), has demonstrated significant clinical activity and tolerability in EGFR-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. However, acquired resistance to osimertinib is inevitable, and the mechanisms underlying resistance to third-generation EGFR-TKIs remain complex and not fully understood. In this case, we report a patient with EGFR-mutated NSCLC who progressed on first-line osimertinib treatment, acquiring a nuclear receptor coactivator 4-rearranged during transfection (NCOA4-RET) fusion alongside a co-mutation in the tumor protein p53 (TP53) gene. Despite these genomic alterations, the patient derived notable clinical benefit from the combination of osimertinib and selpercatinib, suggesting that this dual therapy may offer a promising approach to overcoming resistance in such cases.
