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

As members of the protein tyrosine kinase family, the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) and Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2) play essential roles in cellular signal transduction pathways. Overexpression or abnormal activation of EGFR and HER2 can lead to the development of various solid tumors. Therefore, they have been confirmed as biological targets for the development of anticancer drugs. Due to the fact that many cancers are highly susceptible to develop resistance to single-target EGFR inhibitors in clinical practice, dual inhibitors that target both EGFR and HER2 have been developed to increase efficacy, reduce drug resistance and interactions, and improve patient compliance. Currently, a variety of EGFR/HER2 dual inhibitors have been developed, with several drugs already approved for marketing or in clinical trials. In this review, we summarize recent advancements in small-molecule EGFR/HER2 dual inhibitors by focusing on structure-activity relationships and share novel insights into developing anticancer agents.
