ISH-based HER2 diagnostics.
Review in Der Pathologe, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
A prerequisite for all HER2 directed therapies is the demonstration of HER2 receptor protein overexpression and/or gene amplification by in situ hybridization (ISH). ASCO and CAP have published several HER2 test guidelines over the past 15 years for both breast and gastric cancer. The latest version for breast cancer (2018) focuses on special issues of ISH related to the definitions of special diagnostic groups (1-5). The guidelines for gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma (2017), essentially based on ToGA trial data, are now also being used for other tumors such as pancreas, gallbladder, and non-small-cell lung cancer. For colorectal cancer, a modified testing procedure has been proposed. Recently, besides overexpression and amplification, a third type of HER gene alteration, namely mutation, has gained much interest. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) allows detection of both amplification and mutation of the HER2 gene providing new options of therapy especially in the case of activating mutations.
