The State of Preclinical Modeling for Early Phase Cancer Trials Using Molecularly Targeted Agents with Radiation.
Article in Radiation research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Preclinical studies inform and guide the development of novel treatment combination strategies that bridge the laboratory with the clinic. We aimed to evaluate approaches cancer researchers used to justify advancing new combinations of molecularly targeted agents and radiation treatment into early-phase human clinical trials. Unsolicited early phase clinical trial proposals submitted to the National Cancer Institute's Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program between January 2016 and July 2020 were curated to quantify key characteristics and proportion of preclinical data provided by trialists seeking to conduct molecularly targeted agent-radiation combination studies in cancer patients. These data elucidate the current landscape for how the rationale for a molecularly targeted agent-radiation combination therapy is supported by preclinical research and illustrate unique challenges faced in translation at the intersection of precision medicine and radiation oncology.
