Trial report in ESMO open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04765059 (A Phase III, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study of Platinum Plus Pemetrexed Chemotherapy Plus Osimertinib Versus Platinum Plus Pemetrexed Chemotherapy Plus Placebo in Patients With EGFRm, Locally Advanced or Metastatic NSCLC Who Have Progressed Extracranially Following First-Line Osimertinib Therapy), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract

backgroundCOMPEL (NCT04765059) was a global, randomized, double-blind study that evaluated osimertinib plus chemotherapy versus placebo plus chemotherapy in patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutated advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) following non-central nervous system (CNS) progression on first-line osimertinib. PATIENTS AND

methodsPatients were randomly assigned to receive osimertinib 80 mg, or placebo, once daily (o.d.) in combination with chemotherapy [cisplatin 75 mg/m

resultsNinety-eight patients were randomly assigned (49 per arm). Median PFS in all patients was 8.4 months [95% confidence interval (CI) 5.7-11.8 months] with osimertinib plus chemotherapy versus 4.4 months (95% CI 3.5-5.6 months) with placebo plus chemotherapy [hazard ratio (HR) 0.43, 95% CI 0.27-0.70]. CNS PFS was longer with osimertinib plus chemotherapy versus placebo plus chemotherapy (HR 0.56, 95% CI 0.27-1.13) in patients without baseline CNS metastases (n = 75). Median OS in all patients was 15.9 months (95% CI 12.4-20.8 months) with osimertinib plus chemotherapy versus 9.8 months (95% CI 8.4-17.2 months) with placebo plus chemotherapy (HR 0.71, 95% CI 0.42-1.23). Grade ≥3 adverse events occurred more frequently with osimertinib plus chemotherapy (63%) than placebo plus chemotherapy (46%).

conclusionsIn patients with non-CNS progression on first-line osimertinib, osimertinib plus chemotherapy was associated with improved PFS and longer OS compared with placebo plus chemotherapy. These findings support osimertinib as a backbone treatment for EGFR-mutated advanced NSCLC through lines of therapy.
