CLDN18.2 in Gastric Cancer: Current Therapeutic Landscape and Future Perspectives.
Review in Journal of gastric cancer, 2026. 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
Claudin 18.2 (CLDN18.2), a tight junction protein selectively expressed in normal gastric epithelium and widely retained during carcinogenesis, has emerged as a promising therapeutic target for advanced gastric cancer (AGC). SPOTLIGHT and GLOW trials evaluated the anti-CLDN18.2 monoclonal antibody (mAb) zolbetuximab in combination with first-line chemotherapy, and established CLDN18.2 as a therapeutic target, initiating a paradigm shift toward a biomarker-driven treatment approach in AGC. In addition, from zolbetuximab to a diverse pipeline of promising high-affinity mAbs, bispecific antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates and chimeric antigen receptor T cells, this target has established a new and highly effective therapeutic avenue for CLDN18.2-expressing AGC. Therefore, as research progresses, CLDN18.2-targeted therapy is poised to become a cornerstone of treatment across multiple disease stages and cancer types. This review describes the biological role of CLDN18.2 in normal gastric epithelium and gastric carcinogenesis and summarizes the current therapeutic landscape and future perspectives targeting CLDN18.2 in AGC.
