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

Sunvozertinib has emerged as one of the most promising tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) for previously treated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon 20 insertion (exon20ins) mutations, a molecular subset with limited sensitivity to conventional EGFR TKIs and a persistent unmet need especially in the second-line setting. Regulatory approvals have occurred at different doses - 300 mg daily in China based on WU-KONG6 and 200mg daily in the United States based on WU-KONG1B - raising an important question regarding optimal dose selection in clinical practice. In this editorial, we outline the preclinical and clinical evidence supporting sunvozertinib's approval, compare the efficacy and tolerability at 200mg versus 300mg, and discuss other emerging TKIs in this evolving treatment landscape. Finally, we highlight a critical paradox: despite FDA approval, sunvozertinib remains largely inaccessible to patients in the United States.
