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

backgroundKRAS mutations are common and clearly contribute to malignant progression. The frequency of NRAS mutations and their relationship to clinical, pathologic, and molecular features remains unclear.

methodsWe evaluated 130 colorectal tumors for mutations in KRAS and NRAS gene. We tested for mutations in codons 61 and 146 of KRAS and codons 12, 13, 59, 61 and 146 of NRAS. Mutation status was determined by targeted dideoxy sequencing.

resultsAmong the analyzed primary tumors, 36.2% had KRAS mutation. Of the 83 KRAS codon 12 and 13 wild-type patients, 7.2% had KRAS codon 61, 146 or NRAS. 40.7% harbored any RAS mutation.

conclusionThe frequency of other RAS (NRAS and KRAS exon 3, 4) activating mutations in colorectal cancers is relatively low in Korean colorectal cancer patients.
