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

During the past two decades, significant advances have been made in the discovery and development of targeted inhibitors aimed at improving the survival rates of cancer patients. Among the multitude of potential therapeutic targets identified thus far, Receptor Tyrosine Kinases (RTKs) are of particular importance. Dysregulation of RTKs has been implicated in numerous human diseases, particularly cancer, where aberrant signaling pathways contribute to disease progression. RTKs have a profound impact on intra and intercellular communication, and they also facilitate post-translational modifications, notably phosphorylation, which intricately regulates a multitude of cellular processes. Prolonged phosphorylation or the disruption of kinase regulation may lead to significant alterations in cell signaling. The emergence of small molecule kinase inhibitors has revolutionized cancer therapy by offering a targeted and strategic approach that surpasses the efficacy of traditional chemotherapeutic drugs. Over the last two decades, a plethora of targeted inhibitors have been identified or engineered and have undergone clinical evaluation to enhance the survival rates of cancer patients. In this review, we have compared the expression of different RTKs, including Met, KDR/VEGFR2, EGFR, BRAF, BCR, and ALK across different cancer types in TCGA samples. Additionally, we have summarized the recent development of small molecule inhibitors and their potential in treating various malignancies. Lastly, we have discussed the mechanisms of acquired therapeutic resistance with a focus on kinase inhibitors in EGFR mutant and ALK-rearranged non-small cell lung cancer and BCR-ABL positive chronic myeloid leukemia.
