Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma: From Pathophysiology to Innovative Actionable Targets.
Review in Cancers, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundPleural mesothelioma (PM) is a rare and highly aggressive cancer which arises from mesothelial layer and primarily linked to asbestos exposure, genetic predispositions, and specific mutations. Despite current treatment modalities, including chemotherapy, antiangiogenic therapy and more recently immunotherapy, the prognosis remains dismal, with a median survival time of 6-18 months.
objectivesThe urgent need for novel therapeutic strategies has prompted research into molecular targets and precision medicine approaches. At present, many potential targets for therapeutic strategies have been identified, and emerging clinical trials are demonstrating certain clinical efficacy.
methodsThis review examines advancements in understanding PM's genetic and epigenetic landscape, signaling pathways, and promising therapeutic targets.
resultsWe also discuss the results of recent clinical trials and their potential implications for future treatment paradigms.
