Advanced Human Papillomavirus-Negative Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Unmet Need and Emerging Therapies.
Review in Molecular cancer therapeutics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Despite notable progress in the treatment of advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), survival remains poor in patients with recurrent and/or metastatic (R/M) human papillomavirus (HPV)-negative HNSCC. Worse outcomes in patients who are HPV-negative may be partly related to loss of cell-cycle regulators and tumor suppressors as well as a noninflamed and hypoxic tumor microenvironment, both of which contribute to treatment resistance and disease progression. Anti-programmed cell death protein 1-based regimens as current standard-of-care treatment for R/M HNSCC are associated with durable responses in a limited number of patients. The anti-EGFR mAb, cetuximab, has antitumor activity in this treatment setting, but responses are short-lived and inevitably curtailed due to treatment resistance. Crosstalk between the EGFR and hepatocyte growth factor-dependent mesenchymal-epithelial transition (c-MET) receptor tyrosine kinase pathway is a known mechanism of resistance to cetuximab. Dual targeting of EGFR and c-MET pathways may overcome resistance to cetuximab in patients with HPV-negative HNSCC. Here, we review clinical data of treatments evaluated in patients with R/M HPV-negative HNSCC and highlight the potential role of combining hepatocyte growth factor/c-MET and EGFR pathway inhibitors to overcome cetuximab resistance in this population.
