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 evolution of regorafenib from a monotherapy to a cornerstone of combination regimens for advanced solid tumors is fueled by its unique multi-targeted profile. This review systematically delineates the synergistic mechanisms underpinning this evolution, encompassing the potent induction of diverse cell death programs (apoptosis, autophagy, ferroptosis), the vertical and horizontal blockade of oncogenic signaling pathways (MAPK, PI3K/AKT, STAT3), and the critical remodeling of the TME. These mechanistic rationales are critically translated into clinical practice, with combinations, particularly with immune checkpoint inhibitors, demonstrating breakthrough efficacy in challenging settings such as microsatellite-stable colorectal cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma. We further synthesize strategies to overcome resistance-from targeting compensatory pathways to employing novel nanocarriers for optimized drug delivery-and outline the future landscape, emphasizing the imperative for biomarker-driven patient selection and the integration of next-generation agents.
