Benchmarking EGF signaling pathway inference using phosphoproteomics and kinase-substrate interactions.
Article in Nature communications, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Signaling pathways are useful models for interpreting molecular data, but their coverage has long been constrained by classic biochemistry methods. The growing corpus of kinase-substrate interactions, coupled to phosphoproteomics improvements, pave the way to revisit classic signaling pathways. In this study, we explore context-specific signaling pathway inference from phosphoproteomics and kinase-substrate networks. Focusing on epidermal growth factor (EGF), we conduct a meta-analysis and generate three datasets representing the most comprehensive characterization of the EGF response to date. We infer kinase-kinase pathways and compare them to different ground truth sets. Literature-curated networks consistently yield the highest recovery of ground-truth interactions, with modest gains from network propagation methods. Up to 90% of interactions are absent from current ground truth sets, indicating many unexplored interactions supported by data and knowledge. Our results demonstrate the limitations of traditional views on signaling pathways and point to opportunities for generating better mechanistic hypotheses.
