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

MET exon 14 (METex14) skipping is observed in approximately 3-4% of patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). These patients are typically older and may or may not have a history of tobacco use. Several small molecule MET tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have been developed, showing clinical efficacy in trials targeting the MET pathway in these patients. Among these MET TKIs, tepotinib and capmatinib are globally approved and have demonstrated robust and durable efficacy in patients with METex14 skipping NSCLC in the VISION and GEOMETRY mono-1 trials. While MET TKIs have provided an important therapeutic option for patients with METex14 skipping NSCLC, they are associated with some challenging treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs). Across studies investigating MET TKIs, peripheral edema (49-68%) was reported as the most frequently observed TRAE and is widely recognized as a class effect of MET TKIs in patients with METex14 skipping NSCLC. Nausea (23-44%) and blood creatinine increase (22-34%) were other commonly reported TRAEs observed with treatments in this class. Effective treatment with MET TKIs relies on early recognition of AEs, regular monitoring, patient and caregiver education, and tailored supportive care interventions to ensure treatment continuity and optimal outcomes. Dose reductions have proven effective in mitigating AEs while preserving efficacy, by allowing patients to continue to receive efficacious targeted therapy. In this podcast article, the authors will discuss safety considerations with MET TKI treatment for patients with METex14 skipping NSCLC. They will also share their perspectives on the current landscape of MET TKIs in METex14 skipping NSCLC, commonly reported TRAEs in clinical practice, management strategies for these TRAEs, and safety considerations when switching one MET TKI to another. In addition, authors will discuss two patient cases to illustrate effective management of TRAEs associated with MET TKIs in patients with METex14 skipping NSCLC.
