Targeting SHP2: Dual breakthroughs in colorectal cancer therapy-from signaling pathway modulation to immune microenvironment remodeling.
Review in World journal of gastrointestinal oncology, 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
SHP2 is the first identified oncogenic tyrosine phosphatase that promotes colorectal cancer (CRC) progression, and it is consistently overexpressed in CRC. It facilitates CRC oncogenesis by mediating downstream signaling cascades of receptor tyrosine kinases, including the RAS/ERK, JAK/STAT, and PI3K/AKT pathways, which are clinically associated with poor prognosis. Furthermore, SHP2 orchestrates immunosuppressive signaling networks by impairing cytotoxic T cell infiltration and changing the phenotype of tumor-associated macrophages within the tumor microenvironment (TME). Targeting SHP2 represents a dual therapeutic strategy in CRC: It concurrently regulates RTK signaling and reprograms the immunosuppressive TME. SHP2 inhibitors, administered both as monotherapy and in combination regimens, have advanced into clinical trial phases. Consequently, SHP2 serves as both a molecular target for precision oncology and an immunomodulatory node, positioning it as a high-priority candidate for CRC treatment.
