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

Targeted therapy has markedly improved outcomes for patients with non‑small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the emergence of drug resistance remains a major clinical challenge, limiting long‑term treatment efficacy. Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas9, a revolutionary gene‑editing technology, offers precise and efficient genetic modifications, providing new insights into the mechanisms of drug resistance in NSCLC. The present review explored the application of CRISPR/Cas9 in overcoming resistance associated with key oncogenic drivers, including EGFR, KRAS, ALK, ROS1, MET and BRAF. It summarized recent advances in CRISPR‑based strategies to reverse resistance, enhance targeted therapy effectiveness and develop potential therapeutic interventions. Additionally, it discussed current limitations, including off‑target effects, delivery challenges and ethical concerns, while highlighting future directions for clinical translation. Using CRISPR/Cas9 technology may pave the way for novel, personalized treatment approaches in NSCLC, ultimately improving patient outcome.
