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

In the last decade, pathway-specific targeted therapy has revolutionized colorectal cancer (CRC) treatment strategies. This type of therapy targets a tumor-vulnerable spot formed primarily due to an alteration in an oncogene and/or a tumor suppressor gene. However, tumor heterogeneity in CRC frequently results in treatment resistance, underscoring the need to understand the molecular mechanisms involved in CRC for the development of novel targeted therapies. The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B/mammalian target of the rapamycin (PI3K/Akt/mTOR) signaling pathway axis is a major pathway altered in CRC. The aberrant activation of this pathway is associated with CRC initiation, progression, and metastasis and is critical for the development of drug resistance in CRC. Several drugs target PI3K/Akt/mTOR in clinical trials, alone or in combination, for the treatment of CRC. This review aims to provide an overview of the role of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway axis in driving CRC, existing PI3K/Akt/mTOR-targeted agents against CRC, their limitations, and future trends.
