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

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring MET exon 14 skipping mutations or MET overexpression/amplification typically exhibits highly proliferative and invasive phenotypes and is a significant threat to human health. Although tyrosine kinase inhibitors targeting MET have been approved for clinical use over the past decade, treatment for MET-aberrant patients still face large unmet needs with issues such as limited response duration and drug resistance, low response rates and need for effective combination therapies, differential treatment response in patient subgroups, as well as clinical dose optimization and possibility of personalized medicine. To address these challenges, we developed a quantitative systems pharmacology (QSP) model that mechanistically recapitulated the complex regulation within the MET signaling network and integrated multiscale preclinical-clinical datasets for a total of 16 candidate drugs to drive translational drug research. This comprehensive QSP model framework, upon rigorous stepwise calibration and validation, has enabled high-throughput clinical efficacy analysis of different emerging combination therapies across varying dose ranges, offering crucial insights for drug development and dose optimization in MET-aberrant patients. We further integrated cancer patient-derived organoid (PDO) data on drug sensitivity into the QSP framework and explored the translational utility of this hybrid drug analysis paradigm towards the design of optimal personalized treatment regimens for 5 NSCLC patients harboring MET amplification. To our knowledge, our work is the first multiscale QSP investigation of MET dysregulation for translational cancer drug research, and by integrating QSP model analyses with PDO data it has opened up a new route to facilitate future cancer personalized medicine.
