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

Background: Molecular testing has become an essential part of managing non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The detection of Case Description: This report describes a patient with advanced NSCLC with multiple systemic metastases and ALK gene fusion, in whom MET amplification emerged as a resistance mechanism following disease progression on targeted therapy. The first-line treatment was lorlatinib, a third-generation ALK inhibitor, but the disease progressed rapidly. The second biopsy showed that Conclusions: Our case report first successfully documented the use of third-generation ALK inhibitor (lorlatinib) in combination with novel MET inhibitor (vebreltinib) for the treatment of advanced NSCLC patients with ALK-TKI resistance due to
