MET (c-Met) protein overexpression is an emerging protein biomarker in non-small cell lung cancer.
Review in NPJ precision oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07549061 (A Phase II Study of Vebreltinib Combined With Platinum-Doublet Chemotherapy as First-Line Treatment for Locally Advanced or Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer), which is not on this map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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.

Abstract
MET protein (also known as c-Met protein) overexpression (OE) is an emerging clinically relevant biomarker that is targetable with antibody-drug conjugates. c-Met protein's prevalence varies, depending on the different OE thresholds, antibodies, and detection methodologies used. Unlike MET genomic aberrations, MET protein OE is a protein biomarker requiring immunohistochemistry (IHC)-based testing. Herein, we summarize the current evidence on MET protein OE, including prognostic value, heterogeneity, and stability. We also provide key considerations for enabling optimal real-world testing of this IHC-based biomarker.
