Review in Drugs, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07627347 (Clinical Trial on the Efficacy and Safety of Anlotinib Combined With Bemocizumab for Neoadjuvant Therapy of Resectable Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma), which is not on this map.

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.

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.

Abstract

The genomic landscape of oesophagogastric (OG) cancer is highly complex. The recent elucidation of some of the pathways involved has suggested a number of novel targets for therapy. This therapy is urgently required as with conventional chemotherapy regimens patients with advanced OG cancer still have a median overall survival of under a year. This review outlines the rationale for the current treatment of OG cancer with chemotherapy and describes both previously conducted and ongoing clinical trials of novel agents in this area. The targets and associated treatments discussed include HER-2, EGFR, VEGF, c-Met, FGFR-2, PI3K, mTOR andIGF-1. To date only two targeted treatments, trastuzumab and ramucirumab, have become part of the treatment paradigm for OG cancer, partly due to difficulties in defining predictive biomarkers in this disease. However, there are a number of promising drugs in the pipeline and this article seeks to describe these and other potential novel approaches including targeting DNA repair deficiencies and the immune system.
