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

Epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) have provided significant clinical benefit to patients with EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but multiple concurrent genetic alterations may limit their efficacy. We report a case of advanced lung adenocarcinoma harboring concurrent EGFR exon 19 deletion, ERBB2 amplification, and ERBB2 p.S310F mutation. The patient experienced disease progression after multiple lines of therapy, including osimertinib-based treatment, pemetrexed/carboplatin plus ivonescimab, and nab-paclitaxel plus Endostar. Considering that primary ERBB2 genetic alterations might contribute to the limited benefit from EGFR-TKI-based therapy, the patient subsequently received trastuzumab rezetecan monotherapy. After four cycles of treatment, the patient achieved a partial response in pulmonary lesions and a complete response in intracranial metastases. This case indicates that trastuzumab rezetecan may be a promising treatment option for EGFR-mutant NSCLC with concurrent ERBB2 genetic alterations, even after failure of multiple lines of treatment.
