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

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), a member of the ErbB family of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), is highly expressed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) where increased EGFR expression levels in tumors are associated with decreased survival. HNSCC patient responses to EGFR-targeted monotherapies in clinical trials, though significant, have been limited. Tumor signaling pathway components that work in cooperation with EGFR or provide compensation for the loss of EGFR-initiated signaling will be ideal targets for therapies to be used in combination with EGFR-targeted agents. Based on the current understanding of molecular signaling pathways and available agents, ErbB family-targeted and Src family-targeted agents represent strategies for further exploration. Here, we discuss agents targeting ErbB and Src family kinases in clinical development, provide an overview of completed and ongoing clinical trials, and outline a molecular rationale for combining ErbB- and Src-targeted therapeutics.
