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

The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a recognized target in tumor treatment. While there is significant focus on inhibiting membrane EGFR and its downstream signaling activation, the ectopic accumulation of EGFR, particularly nuclear EGFR (nEGFR), has been implicated in tumor-associated activities and associated with poor prognosis. Within the nucleus, nEGFR functions as a transcriptional regulator to modulate transcriptional landscape and exerts tyrosine kinase activity to phosphorylate nuclear proteins and subsequently influences DNA repair, cell cycle, proliferation, and resistance to radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The nuclear localization of EGFR involves the internalization, subcellular trafficking, and nuclear envelope shuttling of membrane EGFR. Given the challenges of delivering drugs to the nucleus for targeting nEGFR, understanding the molecules affecting the translocation process is crucial for novel insights. This review initially explores the association between nEGFR expression and clinical outcomes and then elucidates how nEGFR fulfills its regulatory role within the nucleus. Subsequently, the mechanisms governing EGFR nuclear translocation and potential therapeutic targets during this process are summarized, highlighting avenues to target nEGFR as an innovative strategy in tumor treatment.
