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

The evolutionarily conserved Notch signaling pathway is essential for cell-fate determination, organogenesis, and tissue homeostasis. Notch receptors and their ligands are transmembrane proteins with epidermal growth factor-like repeats; ligand-receptor binding triggers canonical Notch signaling. Notch signaling is context dependent in cancer, functioning as either an oncogene or a tumor suppressor. Aberrant Notch activation promotes epithelial-mesenchymal transition, sustains cancer stem-like phenotypes, and drives metabolic reprogramming, thereby facilitating tumor progression and therapeutic resistance. Current clinical efforts target the pathway with γ-secretase inhibitors (GSIs), monoclonal and bispecific antibodies, and synthetic Notch (synNotch) approaches. Clinical translation, however, is constrained by dose-limiting toxicity, a paucity of predictive biomarkers, and compensatory resistance through intersecting pathways. Priorities for future work include the development of highly selective Notch modulators, biomarker-guided combination regimens, and targeted delivery systems to realize the translational potential of Notch-targeted therapies in precision oncology.
