Pharmacology of Pimasertib, A Selective MEK1/2 Inhibitor.
Review in European journal of drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Pimasertib belongs to the growing family of mitogen activated protein kinase (MEK1/2) inhibitors undergoing clinical development for various cancer indications. Since the MEK inhibition in several cell signalling transduction cascades within tumours was considered therapeutically beneficial, number of clinical investigations of pimasertib have been reported. Despite being orally bioavailable in cancer patients, pimasertib undergoes faster clearance with a short elimination half-life. In addition, due to occurrence of toxicity, the development of pimasertib appears to be stalled. Case studies are provided on the possible utilization of pimasertib in combination therapies with other approved drugs. Based on the review, it appeared that there was the need to identify the optimal dose and the dosing regimen of pimasertib to provide a balance between safety and efficacy when combined with approved therapies.
