Dual targeting of IGF-1R and ErbB3 as a potential therapeutic regimen for ovarian cancer.
Article in Scientific reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Therapeutically targeting receptor tyrosine kinases has proven to be paramount to overcoming chemotherapy resistance in several cancer indications, improving patient outcomes. Insulin-Like Growth Factor Receptor 1 (IGF-1R) and Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 3 (ErbB3) have been implicated as two such drivers of resistance, however their simultaneous role in ovarian cancer chemotherapy resistance remains poorly elucidated. The aim of this work is to determine the effects of dual IGF-1R/ErbB3 inhibition on ovarian cancer cell signaling, growth, and in vivo efficacy. Assessment of in vitro chemotherapy response across a panel of ovarian cancer cell lines revealed that increased IGF-1R cell surface expression correlates with decreased sensitivity to chemotherapy, and that growth induced by IGF-1R and ErbB3 ligands is blocked by the tetravalent bispecific antibody targeting IGF-1R and ErbB3, istiratumab. In vitro chemotherapy treatment increased ovarian cancer cell line capacity to activate prosurvival PI3K signaling in response to ligand, which could be prevented with istiratumab treatment. Furthermore, in vivo efficacy of standard of care chemotherapies using a xenograft model of ovarian cancer was potentiated with istiratumab. Our results suggest a role for IGF-1R and ErbB3 in driving chemotherapy resistance of ovarian cancer.
