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 is a third-generation irreversible epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) that selectively targets EGFR-TKI-sensitive mutations, thereby inhibiting tumor cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. Herein, we present a case of osimertinib-induced interstitial lung disease (ILD) in an 80-year-old woman with EGFR-mutated lung adenocarcinoma. The patient was treated with osimertinib as first-line therapy for metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). On day 45 of treatment, she experienced acute onset of severe dyspnea, which rapidly progressed to diffuse bilateral pulmonary consolidation and profound hypoxemia. Despite discontinuation of osimertinib and administration of aggressive supportive care, her clinical condition continued to deteriorate, ultimately resulting in a fatal outcome. This case underscores the importance of monitoring respiratory symptoms in patients receiving EGFR-TKIs, promptly diagnosing ILD, and implementing early intervention to mitigate adverse outcomes.
