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 TAM (TYRO3, AXL, MERTK) family of receptor tyrosine kinases has roles in oncogenesis and innate immunity, but the relative importance of the family members can differ in different contexts and between tumor types or individual tumors. Dual TYRO3 and MERTK inhibition may be advantageous for treatment of diseases or in tumors that are dependent on their coordinated action. Here, we report the discovery of the first potent dual TYRO3/MERTK inhibitor, UNC9435 (
