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

KRAS mutation status can distinguish between metastatic colorectal carcinoma (mCRC) patients who may benefit from therapies that target the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), such as cetuximab. However, patients whose tumors harbor mutant KRAS (codons 12/13, 61 and 146) are often excluded from EGFR-targeted regimens, while other patients with wild type KRAS will sometimes respond favorably to these same drugs. These conflicting observations suggest that a more robust approach to individualize therapy may enable greater frequency of positive clinical outcome for mCRC patients. Here, we utilized alive tumor tissues in ex-vivo platform termed CANscript, which preserves the native tumor heterogeneity, in order to interrogate the antitumor effects of EGFR-targeted drugs in mCRC (n = 40). We demonstrated that, irrespective of KRAS status, cetuximab did not induce an antitumor response in a majority of patient tumors. In the subset of non-responsive tumors, data showed that expression levels of EGFR ligands contributed to a mechanism of resistance. Transcriptomic and phosphoproteomic profiling revealed deregulation of multiple pathways, significantly the Notch and Erbb2. Targeting these nodes concurrently resulted in antitumor efficacy in a majority of cetuximab-resistant tumors. These findings highlight the importance of integrating molecular profile and functional testing tools for optimization of alternate strategies in resistant population.
