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

The ever-expanding development of tissue-agnostic therapies which target malignancies based on specific mutations rather than tissue origin have transformed the landscape of oncology. The purpose of this review is to explore the impact, safety, and challenges of tissue-agnostic therapies including pembrolizumab, dostarlimab, larotrectinib, entrectinib, repotrectinib, dabrafenib plus trametinib, selpercatinib, and trastuzumab deruxtecan. As the therapeutic arsenal continues to grow, it is crucial to understand how these therapies truly benefit patients and to address the barriers that stand in the way of making them more widely available. Although these therapies have shown effectiveness across multiple cancer types, substantial challenges persist, including overcoming the burden of intratumoral heterogeneity and resistance mechanisms that reduce therapeutic efficacy. We discuss emergence of pan-histological biomarkers, such as neoantigen burden, current updates on trials as well as trial outlining strategies to refining patient selection, while also supporting broader access to biomarker testing. Collectively, these insights underscore the transformative role of tissue-agnostic therapies in precision oncology while emphasizing the ongoing need for research to optimize their application and overcome current barriers.
