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

Phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT/mammalian target of rapamycin (MTOR) pathway hyperactivation is seen in a multitude of malignancies. Due to the importance of this pathway in numerous critical cellular functions, preclinical and clinical investigations have aimed to target this pathway as an anti-cancer therapeutic strategy. This has led to the development of PI3K, AKT, and MTOR inhibitors for use in cancer patients, leading to multiple FDA approvals over the past decade. In this review, we outline therapeutic targets in PI3K/AKT/MTOR signaling in solid tumors, the current state of using inhibitors of this pathway to treat patients whose cancers possess activating mutations in
