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

During the last decade, the identification of oncogenic driver mutations and the introduction of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in daily clinical practice have substantially revamped the therapeutic approach of oncogene-addicted, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Rearrangements in the anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene are detected in around 3-5% of all NSCLC patients. Following the promising results of Crizotinib, a first-generation ALK inhibitor (ALK-i), other second-generation and more recently third-generation TKIs have been developed and are currently a landmark in NSCLC treatment, leading to a significant improvement in patients prognosis. As clinical trials have already demonstrated high efficacy of each ALK-i, both in terms of systemic and intracranial disease control, comparative studies between second and third generation ALK-i are still lacking, and primary or secondary ALK-i resistance inevitably limit their efficacy. Resistance to ALK-i can be due to ALK-dependent or ALK-independent mechanisms, including the activation of bypass signaling pathways and histological transformation: these findings may play an important role in the future to select patients' subsequent therapy. This review aims to provide an overview of underlying molecular alterations of ALK-i resistance and point out promising role of liquid biopsy in predicting tumor response and monitoring resistance mutations. The purpose of this review is also to summarize current approval for ALK-rearranged NSCLC patients, to help clinicians in making decisions on therapeutic sequence, and to deepen the role of clinicopathological and genomic characteristics influencing patients' prognosis during treatment with ALK-i.
