Treatment Selection for Patients with HER2-Negative Metastatic Gastric Cancer Expressing Claudin 18.2 and PD-L1.
Review in Cancers, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 6 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
Combination therapy of chemotherapy and zolbetuximab demonstrated a significant survival benefit compared to chemotherapy alone in patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative, claudin (CLDN) 18.2-positive metastatic gastric cancer (mGC). Consequently, it has been approved as a standard first-line therapy for these patients. Combination therapy of chemotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs)-either nivolumab or pembrolizumab-is a standard first-line therapy for patients with HER2-negative mGCs that are positive for programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression, as defined by a combined positive score (CPS). Although approximately 13-22% of CLDN-positive mGCs are also CPS-positive, optimal treatment for mGC patients expressing both CLDN and PD-L1 remains undetermined due to the absence of direct comparative studies between zolbetuximab and ICIs. Treatment selection under this condition has become a critical issue. In this review, we discuss the appropriate treatment selection for HER2-negative mGC patients who are double-positive for CLDN 18.2 and PD-L1 based on clinical data and differences in the mechanism of action and safety profile between zolbetuximab and ICI.
