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 is a major cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, frequently diagnosed at advanced stages due to its asymptomatic early course. HER2-positive gastric cancer represents a clinically significant subgroup, characterized by overexpression of the HER2 receptor, which promotes tumor progression and adverse clinical outcomes. Trastuzumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting HER2, has achieved substantial therapeutic advances; however, the emergence of treatment resistance remains a major limitation. Recent evidence indicates that the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway plays a central role in mediating trastuzumab resistance, as its dysregulation enhances tumor cell survival and proliferation, angiogenesis, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, and evasion of apoptosis, ultimately resulting in treatment failure. This study examines the biological and clinical significance of HER2 in gastric cancer and explores the molecular mechanisms underlying PI3K/Akt/mTOR-mediated resistance to trastuzumab. Furthermore, emerging therapeutic strategies targeting these mechanisms may facilitate the development of effective, personalized treatment approaches for patients with HER2-positive gastric cancer.
