STAT3 signaling inhibitors for cancer treatment.
Review in Trends in pharmacological sciences, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Pharmacological targeting of Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3 (STAT3) in cancer has demonstrable antitumor efficacy. However, suitably potent, efficacious, and safe STAT3 inhibitors are scarce, and only a handful have entered clinical trials, limiting our knowledge of the extent of clinical benefit. Outcomes of recently completed trials in advanced cancers range from improved overall survival and complete responses in a cohort of patients with phosphotyrosine STAT3 positivity to partial responses and progressive disease in unselected patients. Advancements in oligonucleotide technologies and the integration of E3 ligase-specific proteolysis-targeting chimeras and molecular glue protein degrader strategies are accelerating the transition of STAT3 inhibitors into clinical testing. This review examines recent STAT3-targeted modalities and their preclinical and clinical activities. It concludes by underscoring the value of biomarker-informed approaches to optimize patient outcomes, combination therapies to improve clinical benefits, and artificial intelligence/machine learning tools to accelerate development.
