Fibroblast growth factor receptors as treatment targets in clinical oncology.
Review in Nature reviews. Clinical oncology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 206 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
FGFRs are receptor tyrosine kinases with a role in several biological processes, such as the regulation of development and tissue repair. However, alterations in FGFRs 1-4, such as amplifications, fusions and mutations, as well as aberrant epigenetic or transcriptional regulation and changes in tumour-stromal interactions in the tumour microenvironment, can lead to the development and/or progression of cancer. Similar to other kinase alterations, such alterations are targetable using small molecules or antibodies, and the benefits of FGFR inhibitors have been demonstrated in clinical trials involving subsets of patients with solid tumours harbouring FGFR alterations. However, the response rates in patients with FGFR alterations were relatively low, and responses in patients without detectable FGFR alterations were also observed. In this Review, the author describes the clinical experience with FGFR inhibitors to date, and highlights key aspects that might lead to improved response rates and/or the avoidance of acquired resistance, including the selection of patients who are most likely to benefit from treatment, and the use of FGFR inhibitors in combination regimens with other agents.
