REThinking the role of the RET oncogene in breast cancer.
Review in Frontiers in oncology, 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
The REarranged during Transfection (RET) receptor tyrosine kinase plays a crucial role in the development of various anatomical structures during embryogenesis and it is involved in many physiological cellular processes. This protein is also associated with the initiation of various cancer types, such as thyroid cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, and multiple endocrine neoplasms. In breast cancer, and especially in the estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) subtype, the activity of RET is of notable importance. Indeed, RET seems to be involved in tumor progression, resistance to therapies, and cellular proliferation. Nevertheless, the ways RET alterations could impact the prognosis of breast cancer and its response to treatment remain only partially elucidated. Several inhibitors of RET kinase have been developed thus far, with various degrees of selectivity toward RET inhibition. These molecules showed notable efficacy in the treatment of RET-driven tumors, including some breast cancer cases. Despite these encouraging results, further investigation is needed to fully understand the potential role RET inhibition in breast cancer. This review aims to recapitulate the existing evidence about the role of
