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

SHP2 is a phosphatase and a critical mediator of receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK)-driven RAS/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling. Despite promising preclinical data, SHP2 inhibitors have shown minimal clinical efficacy, with no defined clinical mechanisms of primary resistance. Here, we elucidate phosphorylation of SHP2 at tyrosine 62 (pY62) as a hotspot phosphorylation site in the proteome and RTK-driven tumor types in patients. We demonstrate that SRC family kinases directly phosphorylate SHP2 at Y62, downstream of but not directly phosphorylated by RTKs. Using biochemical and biophysical analyses, we show that SHP2
