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

Background: Although precision-targeted therapies and tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have significantly improved outcomes in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC with concurrent TP53 mutations often develop drug resistance and experience poor clinical outcomes. This study aims to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying this aggressive subtype using single-cell RNA sequencing. Methods: Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor samples were obtained from 40 hospitalized NSCLC patients. Somatic mutation profiles were determined using a targeted 23-gene next-generation sequencing (NGS) panel. Four samples harboring concurrent EGFR and TP53 mutations were selected for single-cell transcriptomic profiling using the 10x Genomics platform. Results: Two dominant malignant epithelial cell populations were identified: C1_EGFR Conclusion: These findings reveal a coordinated transcriptional network that promotes immune evasion and therapeutic resistance in EGFR/TP53 co-mutated NSCLC. Targeting the STAT1/ETS1 axis, in combination with EGFR-TKIs or immune checkpoint inhibitors, may provide a novel strategy to overcome resistance and improve patient outcomes. Further validation in larger patient cohorts and functional studies is warranted to confirm these observations and support clinical translation.
