Ras-Mediated Activation of the Raf Family Kinases.
Review in Cold Spring Harbor perspectives in medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 114 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) cascade comprised of the Raf, MEK, and ERK protein kinases constitutes a key effector cascade used by the Ras GTPases to relay signals regulating cell growth, survival, proliferation, and differentiation. Of the ERK cascade components, the regulation of the Raf kinases is by far the most complex, involving changes in subcellular localization, protein and lipid interactions, as well as alterations in the Raf phosphorylation state. The Raf kinases interact directly with active, membrane-localized Ras, and this interaction is often the first step in the Raf activation process, which ultimately results in ERK activation and the downstream phosphorylation of cellular targets that will specify a particular biological response. Here, we will examine our current understanding of how Ras promotes Raf activation, focusing on the molecular mechanisms that contribute to the Raf activation/inactivation cycle.
