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) remains the leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide; however, precision oncology has fundamentally transformed its treatment landscape. In 2025, seven approvals by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) further accelerated biomarker-driven care across critical molecular subsets. These include MET-directed and trophoblast cell-surface antigen-2 (TROP-2) antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), expanded strategies targeting epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), notably those addressing exon 20 insertion mutations, a ROS proto-oncogene 1 (ROS1) inhibitor, and various human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) options that encompass both tumor-agnostic and mutation-selected approaches. These advancements underscore the necessity for integrated diagnostics-such as next-generation sequencing (NGS), fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and immunohistochemistry (IHC)-while also emphasizing ongoing challenges in biomarker selection, therapeutic sequencing, and equitable global implementation.
