Targeted therapies in neoadjuvant treatment for gastroesophageal cancer.
Review in Ecancermedicalscience, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Gastroesophageal cancers are among the most prevalent cancers globally and represent the third leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Surgical resection remains the primary curative approach for localised and locally advanced stages, but its effectiveness is limited for locally advanced diseases, evidenced by a low 5-year survival rate of around 25%. High relapse rates post-surgery, particularly in Western populations, necessitate the use of neoadjuvant, adjuvant or perioperative strategies involving chemotherapy and radiation to improve surgical outcomes. Neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy has demonstrated a significant improvement in overall survival. Recent advances have identified several target genes and pathways involved in the pathogenesis and progression of these cancers, leading to the development of targeted drugs, including immunotherapy, anti-HER-2 antibodies and anti-vascular endothelial growth factor receptor antibodies. These targeted therapies are emerging as promising interventions for better patient outcomes and personalised treatment approaches and, therefore, could eventually evolve into a novel therapeutic regimen for gastroesophageal cancer.
