Development of target-based antineoplastic agents.
Review in Investigational new drugs, 2000. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers.
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
The elucidation of multiple potential targets in cancer cells and the development of multiple target-based antineoplastic agents provide unique challenges in clinical trial design. Many of these agents are predicted to have cytostatic as opposed to cytotoxic effects and thus the traditional surrogate endpoint of radiologic tumor shrinkage may be inadequate. The ethical and safety issues of obtaining multiple tumor biopsies further complicate the assessment of appropriate target inhibition in patients. We discuss specific issues that need to be addressed during preclinical, phase I, II, and III testing of these agents. We propose clinical trial designs, including a randomized discontinuation design during phase II evaluation, that may be particularly useful for cytostatic antineoplastic agents.
