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: Although pralsetinib has shown promising efficacy in rearranged during transfection (RET) fusion-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), acquired resistance remains a major clinical challenge and requires effective combination strategies. The study aims to explore the antitumor efficacy of the combined treatment of pralsetinib and bevacizumab in RET fusion-positive NSCLC. Methods: Ba/F3 stably expressing KIF5B-RET and subsequent pralsetinib resistant cell line were used for evaluating the antitumor efficacy Results: In this study, we demonstrated that the anti-angiogenic agent bevacizumab combined with pralsetinib can increase the sensitivity of Ba/F3 cells harboring KIF5B-RET fusion to pralsetinib through the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/AKT) pathway. Through ELISA, we observed that the levels of VEGF were elevated when the cell line developed drug resistance. Furthermore, Conclusions: Collectively, our results suggest that the combination of pralsetinib and bevacizumab is a promising approach for treating RET fusion-positive NSCLC.
