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

This study aimed to investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of dabrafenib plus trametinib for BRAFV600E-mutated advanced thyroid carcinoma in a Japanese real-world setting. We analyzed 37 BRAFV600E-mutated advanced thyroid carcinoma patients treated with dabrafenib plus trametinib between November 2023 and July 2025. Thirty-one patients (84%) had papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) histology, one (3%) had poorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma (PDTC) histology, and 5 (13%) had anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) histology. Among 31 PTC patients, dabrafenib plus trametinib was initiated as first-line treatment in 16 patients. The most common previous systemic therapy was lenvatinib (n = 16, 43%). The most common sites of target lesion were the lung (n = 23, 62%) and lymph node (n = 23, 62%). The median sum of the diameters of the target lesion was 40 mm (range, 8-166 mm). The objective response and disease control rates were 29% and 74% in patients with PTC, and 50% and 83% in patients with non-PTC (PDTC and ATC), respectively. The 12-month progression-free survival rates in patients with PTC and non-PTC (PDTC and ATC) were 73.2% (95% confidence interval [CI], 48.7-87.4%) and 60.0% (95% CI, 12.6-88.2%) (hazard ratio, 2.769; 95% CI, 0.691-11.1; p = 0.134), respectively. Dabrafenib plus trametinib treatment showed a response rate similar to that observed in clinical trials for BRAFV600E-mutated advanced thyroid carcinoma in this real-world study. However, long-term follow-up is required to determine the efficacy of dabrafenib plus trametinib treatment.
