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

Introduction: Ramucirumab (RAM) plus gefitinib (GEF) exhibited favorable efficacy and safety as first-line treatment in the primary analysis of the RELAY+ study of East Asian patients with metastatic Methods: This open-label, two-period, single-arm exploratory study included patients with untreated NSCLC having Results: At final OS data cutoff (October 20, 2023; median follow-up: 42.5 mo), median (95% confidence interval [CI]) OS was 47.4 (35.9‒57.6) months, and the 3-year OS rate was 61.8%. In the L858R and ex19del subgroups, median OS was 51.9 and 38.4 months, and 3-year OS rates were 70.2% and 52.8%, respectively. Overall, 85.4% of patients received subsequent systemic therapy post study treatment discontinuation. Grade 3 or higher treatment-related adverse events (AEs) were reported by 51 (62.2%) patients. The most common grade 3 or higher treatment-emergent AE of special interest was hypertension (25.6%; grade 3 event only). Treatment-emergent T790M rate post progression was 81.3%. Conclusions: RELAY+ revealed a favorable benefit-risk profile for RAM plus GEF in East Asian patients with untreated
