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

Fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs) are critical mediators of cellular signaling involved in development, tissue repair, and metabolic homeostasis. Dysregulated FGFR signaling is also a common feature in multiple cancer types, including breast cancer. In breast cancer, aberrant FGFR signaling can occur by amplification, mutation, isoform switching, or gene fusion and has emerged as a driver of tumor progression, metastasis, and therapeutic resistance. Beyond its canonical roles in proliferation and survival, recent evidence highlights FGFRs as key regulators of cancer cell metabolism. This review summarizes current findings on how FGFR signaling reprograms metabolic pathways in breast cancer, specifically glycolytic and lipid metabolism. We explore the interplay between FGFR activity and metabolic enzymes, transcription factors, and nutrient-sensing pathways, emphasizing subtype-specific metabolic vulnerabilities. Furthermore, we discuss how FGFR-mediated metabolic plasticity contributes to tumor heterogeneity and resistance to targeted therapies. Understanding the metabolic functions of FGFR signaling offers new opportunities for therapeutic intervention and biomarker development in breast cancer.
