A real world analysis of secondary BRAF variations after targeted therapy resistance in driver gene positive NSCLC.

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.
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
Secondary BRAF variations have been identified as a mechanism of resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in patients with driver gene-positive NSCLC. Nevertheless, there is still a lack of consensus regarding the characteristics and subsequent treatment strategies for these patients. We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients with driver gene-positive NSCLC who received TKIs therapy at Zhejiang Cancer Hospital between May 2016 and December 2023. The clinical and genetic characteristics of these patients were assessed, along with the impact of various treatment strategies on survival. This study enrolled 27 patients with advanced NSCLC, in whom BRAF variations occurred at a median time of 28 months after the initiation of targeted therapy. The multivariate accelerated failure time (AFT) model revealed that, compared to chemotherapy-based regimens group, the combined targeted therapy group (p < 0.001) and the combined local treatment group for oligo-progression (p < 0.001) significantly extended patient survival. In contrast, continuing the original signaling pathway's targeted monotherapy was associated with shorter survival (p = 0.034). The median global OS for each treatment group was as follows: chemotherapy-based regimens group, 45 months; combined targeted therapy group, 59 months; combined local treatment group for patients with oligo-progression, 46 months; and targeted monotherapy group, 36 months. Study results indicate that the combination targeted therapy group (including TKIs, BRAF inhibitors, and/or MEK inhibitors) and the localized treatment group are more effective than traditional chemotherapy-based regimens in improving survival. Additionally, continuing targeted monotherapy along the original signaling pathway proves less effective than chemotherapy-based regimens.
