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

aimsSelpercatinib and pralsetinib are approved for RET-rearranged non - small cell lung cancer. MATERIALS &

methodsEfficacy and safety were compared using matching-adjusted indirect comparison.

resultsMedian progression-free survival (PFS) was 22.1 and 13.3 months for selpercatinib and pralsetinib, respectively (HR = 0.67; 95% CI, 0.53-0.85). Objective response rate was 64.5% and 65.8%, and disease control rate was 92.1% and 90.4%, respectively. Median overall survival was not reached for selpercatinib and 43.9 months for pralsetinib (HR = 0.81; 95% CI, 0.60-1.09). Grade ≥ 3 treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) were reported in 39.3% and 62.6% of patients, with discontinuations due to TRAEs in 3.6% and 10.0% of patients, respectively.

conclusionOutcomes were similar; however, PFS was significantly prolonged with selpercatinib, with fewer grade ≥ 3 TRAEs.
