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 prognosis of advanced gastrointestinal malignancies has been generally dreadful prompting robust search for better, more personalized, and more tailored treatments. In recent years, important signaling pathways leading to tumor progression and metastasis have been discovered with the subsequent development of targeted therapies to target these pathways. These include epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), and mesenchymal epithelial transition (MET). In this review, we will revise the different biological and clinical aspects related to the use of PDGF pathway-targeted therapies in gastrointestinal cancers with particular focus on the future prospective in that regard.
