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

The plethora of targetable variants among non-small cell lung cancers is on the rise, making it one of the most important cancer types in the context of precision oncology. Recently, the MET exon14 skipping mutation has emerged as a novel therapeutic target. This mutation results from somatic alterations at the splice junction of exon 14 of the MET gene, leading to constitutive activation of downstream signaling pathways. The approval of targeted therapy for this variation makes it a compelling need to use appropriate testing systems for detection. Utilising a robust next-generation sequencing platform, we have identified this mutation in 5.3% of cases in our cohort. In the absence of information on MET exon 14 skipping from India, this case series will throw some light on this variation in our subcontinent and highlights the fact that the real-world effectiveness of MET inhibitors like Tepotinib and Capmantinib might be lower than expected.
