Modulation of gut microbiota in targeted cancer therapy: insights on the EGFR/VEGF/KRAS pathways.
Review in Cancer biology & medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
The rise in the incidence of cancer globally has led to a heightened interest in targeted therapies as a form of anticancer treatment. Key oncogenic targets, including epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homologue (KRAS), have emerged as focal points in the development of targeted agents. Research has investigated the impact of gut microbiota on the efficacy of various anticancer therapies, such as immunotherapy, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. However, a notable gap exists in the literature regarding the relationship between gut microbiota and targeted agents. This review emphasizes how specific gut microbiota and gut microbiota metabolites, including butyrate, propionate, and ursodeoxycholic acid, interact with oncogenic pathways to modulate anti-tumor effects. Conversely, deoxycholic acid, lipopolysaccharide, and trimethylamine n-oxide may exert pro-tumor effects. Furthermore, modulation of the gut microbiota influences glucose and lipid metabolism, thereby enhancing the response to anti-KRAS agents and addressing diarrhea induced by tyrosine kinase inhibitors. By elucidating the connection between gut microbiota and the EGFR/VEGF/KRAS pathways, this review provides valuable insights for advancing targeted cancer therapy and optimizing treatment outcomes in clinical settings.
