The role and research progress of the MET signalling pathway in targeted therapy for osteosarcoma.
Review in Oncology reviews, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
MET, a receptor tyrosine kinase proto-oncogene and the specific receptor for hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), plays a critical role in the initiation and progression of osteosarcoma (OS) through sustained pathway activation. Aberrant activation of MET has been shown to trigger multiple downstream signalling pathways, including RAS-ERK, PI3K-AKT, and STAT3, which are essential for OS cell proliferation, invasion, differentiation, and drug resistance. In recent years, significant progress has been made in the development of small-molecule inhibitors and specific antibodies targeting MET for OS therapy. The use of combination therapy as a treatment strategy involves the use of MET inhibitors in conjunction with chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and other targeted therapies. This approach has the potential to overcome resistance and improve therapeutic efficacy. This review summarises the mechanisms of MET signalling in OS, with a focus on the progress of MET-targeted therapies and their combination with other therapeutic strategies. The study provides valuable insights into future research directions, offering novel perspectives on the role of MET as a therapeutic target in OS.
