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

Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) is a critical molecular chaperone that ensures the stability and maturation of oncogenic client proteins in lung cancer. This review examines the distinct roles of HSP90α, HSP90β, GRP94 and the mitochondrial paralog TRAP1 in driving disease progression. While HSP90α governs invasiveness and metastasis, HSP90β maintains homeostatic oncogenic signalling. TRAP1 serves as a metabolic lynchpin, facilitating metabolic reprogramming, mitochondrial cytoprotection, and resistance to apoptosis. Together, these isoforms stabilize key drivers such as EGFR, ALK and KRAS, fostering therapeutic resistance. Utilizing systems biology, bioinformatics and comparative analysis of experimental studies, this review explores the high-throughput identification of HSP90 isoforms as central "hub genes" within the lung cancer interactome. The therapeutic potential of mitochondrial-targeted drug delivery systems and isoform-selective inhibitors designed to minimize systemic toxicity are explored in detail. Ultimately, understanding isoform-specific dynamics and multi-omics regulatory networks is essential for developing personalized, selective interventions to overcome drug resistance and improve lung cancer management.
