HER2-targeted therapy in colorectal cancer: a comprehensive review.
Review in Clinical & translational oncology : official publication of the Federation of Spanish Oncology Societies and of the National Cancer Institute of Mexico, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Despite treatment advancements in the last decades, CRC remains heterogeneous with significant clinical and genetic diversity. Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) proto-oncogene plays a critical role, as its amplification or overexpression leading to abnormal cell proliferation and tumorigenesis. HER2 overexpression or amplification is identified in 2-4% of metastatic CRCs (mCRC) patients, representing a potential therapeutic target. It is also associated with resistance against epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-targeted therapies like cetuximab and panitumumab, for treatment of RAS wild-type mCRC. Although HER2-positive mCRC is rare, assessing HER2 levels is important. Furthermore, anti-HER2 therapies exhibited non-toxic profile and high efficacy in chemorefractory cases. This review delves into modern management of anti-HER2 therapies in CRC with a particular focus on recent advances and current knowledge about the prognostic and predictive value of HER2.
