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

Gastric cancer (GC) is a malignant neoplasm with one of the highest incidence and mortality rates. However, therapeutic options remain limited for advanced disease. Angiogenesis, a fundamental process in tumor progression, has emerged as a key therapeutic target. To comprehensively evaluate the clinical advancements of anti-angiogenic targeted drugs, this review conducted a systematic search and collation of pertinent literature, While, only ramucirumab achieved regulatory approval for second-line therapy, emerging agents including apatinib and fruquintinib demonstrate significant clinical benefits, particularly in combination with immunotherapy. The review also classifies and summarizes biomarkers with potential predictive value for treatment response, and discusses the current major challenges and potential optimization strategies. This analysis identifies significant gaps in predictive biomarkers and emphasizes that patient stratification and rational combination strategies are essential for optimizing therapeutic outcomes.
