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: Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene mutations play a key driving role in the development and progression of lung cancer. Currently, EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) serve as the standard first-line therapy for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring EGFR mutations. However, with the widespread use of these drugs, resistance has become increasingly prevalent, particularly with third-generation EGFR-TKIs, posing a significant bottleneck limiting survival benefits for patients. This real-world study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of double-dose furmonertinib in patients with advanced NSCLC who have developed resistance to prior osimertinib therapy, with the goal of offering practical insights for clinical decision-making. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 69 patients with advanced NSCLC resistant to osimertinib. The control group received platinum-based dual-agent chemotherapy, with progression leading to subsequent-line therapy. The observation group received either double-dose furmonertinib (160 mg/day, oral) or double-dose furmonertinib monotherapy in addition to the control group regimen. Results: The observation group had significantly improved disease control rate (DCR) compared with the control group (71.1% vs 41.7%, Conclusion: In patients with osimertinib-resistant advanced NSCLC, the regimen comprising double-dose furmonertinib yielded promising efficacy, accompanied by an acceptable safety profile and overall tolerable treatment-related adverse events. In patients with osimertinib-resistant advanced NSCLC and CNS metastases, double-dose furmonertinib significantly prolongs PFS and demonstrates marked local control of CNS metastases.
