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

Targeted cancer therapies offer renewed hope for an eventual 'cure for cancer'. At present, however, their success is often compromised by the emergence of resistant tumor cells. In many cancers, patients initially respond to single therapy treatment but relapse within months. Mathematical models of somatic evolution can predict and explain patterns in the success or failure of anticancer drugs. These models take into account the rate of cell division and death, the mutation rate, the size of the tumor, and the dynamics of tumor growth including density limitations caused by geometric and metabolic constraints. As more targeted therapies become available, mathematical modeling will provide an essential tool to inform the design of combination therapies that minimize the evolution of resistance.
