1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Trastuzumab plus chemotherapy is the standard of care for the first-line treatment of patients with HER2+ advanced esophagogastric (EG) cancer. Nevertheless, patients frequently develop resistance. In preclinical models, we identified the overexpression of Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor (FGFR) 3 as a mechanism potentially involved in trastuzumab-acquired resistance. FGFR inhibition could be a potential mechanism as a second-line treatment. In this Simon's two-stage phase 2, single arm study, patients with advanced EG cancer refractory to trastuzumab-containing therapies received pemigatinib, an inhibitor of FGFR. The primary end point was the 12-week progression-free survival rate. Translational analyses were performed on tissue and plasma samples. Eight patients were enrolled in the first stage. Although the 6-week disease control rate was 25%, only one patient achieved a stable disease after 12 weeks of treatment. The trial was discontinued before the second stage. Two out of six evaluable tumor samples expressed FGFR3. No
