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

Receptor tyrosine kinase pathways are frequently deregulated in cancer. Inhibiting these pathways with small molecule inhibitors or monoclonal antibodies has become a crucial addition to the therapeutic armamentarium in oncology. Since the introduction of drugs that target receptor tyrosine kinase pathways, it has become evident that not all patients respond to treatment. Therefore, biomarkers to predict response and benefit of drugs targeting tyrosine kinases have been sought. Monoclonal antibodies targeting the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR), one of the four receptors of the EGFR family were among the first targeted therapies used in solid tumors. Two drugs of this class, cetuximab and panitumumab, have been used in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer initially without any biomarker requirement. Soon, it became clear that responses were mostly observed in patients without mutations in
