Prognostic Significance of EGFR, HER2, and c-Met Overexpression in Surgically Treated Patients with Adenocarcinoma of the Ampulla of Vater.
Article in Cancers, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Adenocarcinoma of the ampulla of Vater (AAC) is a rare malignancy with heterogeneous tumors arising from various histologic subtypes, necessitating new therapeutic strategies. This study examines epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), and c-Met expression in AAC, given their potential as druggable targets. Among 87 patients who underwent curative resection, EGFR overexpression was found in 87.4%, HER2 in 11.5%, and c-Met in 50%. EGFR overexpression was more common in the pancreatobiliary subtype (
