Emerging evidence of targeting non-oncogenic drivers for gastric cancer: Claudin18.2 and beyond.
Review in Therapeutic advances in medical oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. 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
Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 was the first successful molecular target in treating gastric cancer, marking a significant milestone for targeted therapies. Emerging evidence on Claudin18.2 (CLDN18.2) has recently reshaped the paradigm of therapeutic targets, expanding the focus beyond conventional oncogenic drivers. Therapeutic strategies now target tumor-associated molecules which highly expressed in tumors but are not necessarily critical for tumor growth or survival. Molecules such as trophoblast cell surface antigen 2, Caprin-1, and Nectin-4 are promising non-oncogenic targets for advanced gastric cancer treatment. Innovative therapeutic approaches, such as antibody-drug conjugates, bispecific antibodies, and chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy, have accelerated the potential of targeting tissue-associated antigens. This review provides an update on CLDN18.2-directed therapies and explores the development of novel therapeutic strategies targeting non-oncogenic drivers. In addition, we discuss ongoing challenges, including biomarker overlap, resistance mechanisms, and future directions for next-generation molecular targeted therapy in gastric cancer.
