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

Amivantamab, a bispecific monoclonal antibody directed against the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor (MET), has demonstrated significant clinical activity and is increasingly incorporated into frontline regimens for EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Its increasing clinical use has, nevertheless, been paralleled by recognition of distinctive cutaneous adverse events, most commonly acneiform eruptions, paronychia, and xerosis among others. We present the first case of an erosive pustular dermatosis (EPD)-like reaction limited to a previously irradiated field in a patient receiving amivantamab for EGFR-mutant NSCLC. This case draws attention to the importance of recognizing EPD-like scalp ulcerations as a potential adverse event in patients receiving amivantamab, events that have not been recognized in clinical trials, particularly in the setting of recent or concurrent radiotherapy.
