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

Kirsten Ras (K-Ras) mutations have been implicated as a key predictive marker of resistance to therapies targeting the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). To determine whether Harvey Ras (H-Ras) mutations also can confer resistance to EGFR-targeted therapy, we expressed a constitutively active H-Ras (Ras G12V) in A431 human vulvar squamous carcinoma cells. Compared with corresponding control cells, A431-Ras cells exhibited marked resistance to the EGFR inhibitors cetuximab and gefitinib, reducing inhibition of Akt and Erk phosphorylation, inhibition of HIF-1α expression and transcriptional activity, and antitumor effects in vitro and in vivo. Our data indicate that constitutively active H-Ras can also confer resistance to anti-EGFR therapy in cancer cells.
