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

Osimertinib is the standard first-line treatment for EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), although acquired resistance remains inevitable. The EGFR C797S mutation is a recognized on-target resistance mechanism; however, the T790M-negative/C797S-only subtype following frontline osimertinib-based combination therapy is rarely reported. We describe a 44-year-old Vietnamese never-smoking woman diagnosed with stage IV lung adenocarcinoma harbouring EGFR exon 21 L858R mutation. First-line treatment with pemetrexed-carboplatin plus osimertinib achieved a near-complete response, followed by maintenance osimertinib monotherapy. After 26 months of disease control, radiologic progression occurred with recurrent bilateral pulmonary metastases and right supraclavicular lymphadenopathy. Repeat biopsy and next-generation sequencing identified persistent EGFR L858R (VAF 13.92%) and acquired EGFR C797S (VAF 6.19%) without detectable T790M, consistent with a C797S-only resistance profile. Subsequent gefitinib plus bevacizumab therapy produced a rapid radiologic response with near-complete resolution of contralateral pulmonary lesions, suggesting retained sensitivity to reversible EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor-based therapy in C797S-only disease.
