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

The MET receptor, commonly known as HGF (hepatocyte growth factor) receptor, is a focus of extensive scientific research. MET has been linked to embryonic development, tissue regeneration following injury, tumorigenesis, and cancer metastasis. These functions underscore its involvement in numerous cellular processes, including stemness, proliferation, motility, cell dissociation, and survival. However, the enigmatic nature of MET becomes apparent in the context of cancer. When MET remains persistently activated, since its gene undergoes genetic alterations, it initiates a complex signaling cascade setting in motion an aggressive and metastatic program that is characteristic of malignant cells and is known as "invasive growth". The expanding knowledge of MET signaling has opened up numerous opportunities for therapeutic interventions, particularly in the realm of oncology. Targeting MET presents a promising strategy for developing novel anti-cancer treatments. In this review, we provide an updated overview of drugs designed to modulate MET signaling, highlighting MET kinase inhibitors, degraders, anti-MET/HGF monoclonal antibodies, and MET-targeted antibody-drug conjugates. Through this review, we aim to contribute to the ongoing advancement of therapeutic strategies targeting MET signaling.
