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, a third-generation EGFR-TKI, is effective for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but drug resistance significantly worsens patient outcomes. Epigenetic regulation, particularly methylation, is crucial in tumor progression and resistance development. Changes in polygenic methylation patterns are linked to osimertinib resistance in NSCLC, affecting drug target mutations, transporter functions, and signaling pathways. However, the mechanisms by which epigenetic regulation impacts NSCLC and drug resistance are not fully understood. This review summarizes the role of polygenic methylation in osimertinib resistance in NSCLC, examining its effects on drug targets, transporter functions, and signaling pathways. It systematically analyzes recent literature on how changes in DNA and RNA methylation patterns affect EGFR mutation status, drug transporter function, and intracellular signaling, providing a theoretical framework for understanding osimertinib resistance. Further research on the interaction between DNA methylation and other resistance mechanisms may lead to new treatment strategies and drug targets, enhancing efficacy and patient survival rates in NSCLC.
