Detection of KRAS and BRAF mutations in advanced colorectal cancer by allele-specific single-base primer extension.
Article in Expert review of molecular diagnostics, 2011. 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
Evaluation of: Magnin S, Viel E, Baraquin A et al. A multiplex SNaPshot assay as a rapid method for detecting KRAS and BRAF mutations in advanced colorectal cancers. J. Mol. Diagn. 13(5), 485-492 (2011). Since mutations in the KRAS and BRAF genes are associated with resistance to therapy with anticancer drugs targeting the EGF receptor pathway, the analysis of KRAS and BRAF mutational status has become an important tool in the clinical management of patients with advanced colorectal cancer. To be useful in the clinical setting, a diagnostic assay has to address several issues related to the sensitivity and specificity of the method, the modularity of the assay, the turnaround time and the running costs. A variety of methods have been applied to the diagnosis of KRAS and BRAF mutational status. Although there is a good concordance between different methods, differences exist regarding sensitivity, multiplexing capacity and costs. In this article, we review a recently published assay for the simultaneous detection of diagnostically relevant KRAS and BRAF mutations and discuss this work in the context of conventional diagnostic methods.
