MET Exon 14 Skipping Mutation in NSCLC: From Genomic Discovery to Biomarker-Guided Therapeutic Innovation.
Review in Current drug targets, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
introductionNon-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common type of lung cancer, and the MET exon 14 skipping mutation is a key oncogenic driver, which promotes tumor progression and provides a new direction for precision therapy.
methodsA systematic search of English-language literature and clinical trial data related to the MET exon 14 skipping mutation from 2020-2025 was performed to summarize the role of the mutation and therapeutic advances.
resultsDNA-based next-generation sequencing (NGS), RNA-based NGS, and RT-qPCR were employed as the main detection methods. Preclinical models confirmed that mutations promote tumor progression by activating the RAS/MAPK pathway. Clinical trials have reported objective remission rates (ORR) of 46-68% for first-line treatment with MET inhibitors in NSCLC patients harboring MET exon 14 skipping mutations. DISCUSSION: MET exon 14 skipping mutation as a therapeutic target for NSCLC has made significant progress, and MET inhibitors are more advantageous than chemotherapy and immunotherapy, and have been recommended by national and international guidelines as a first-line treatment option. Additionally, NGS technology has the potential to dynamically monitor tumor evolution and drugresistant mutations, thereby helping to realize precision medicine.
conclusionThe MET exon 14 skipping mutation is an important target for the precision treatment of NSCLC, and MET-TKIs have remarkable efficacy but a prominent problem with drug resistance. The construction of a precision medicine system encompassing diagnosis, treatment, and drug resistance management through multi-omics research, technological innovation, and international collaboration is a key direction for improving prognosis.
