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

One of the most exciting developments in recent cancer treatment has been the move away from crude cytotoxic agents toward drugs that inhibit specific targets in specific cellular pathways. One assumption of this strategy is that maintenance of human cancers is dependent upon a limited cadre of therapeutically tractable oncogenic lesions. In this issue of Cancer Cell, an intriguing paper from Sharma et al. endorses this approach by showing that evolution appears to be working for us. They show that an innate asymmetry in the dynamics of intracellular signaling biases pathway inhibition in favor of cell death. This bias may significantly potentiate targeted cancer therapies.
