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

backgroundBRAF mutation is associated with poor clinical outcome of patients with malignant tumours, and mediates resistance to chemotherapy and targeted therapy. This study aimed to determine whether V600E mutant and wild type BRAF colorectal cancers exhibit distinct sensitivities to the dual BRAF inhibitor AZ304.

methodsKinase activity was assessed by the AlphaScreen assay. Then, MTT assay, EdU assay, colony-formation assay and Western blot were performed to evaluate the anti-tumour effects of AZ304 in vitro. In vivo efficacy was investigated by xenograft analysis and immunohistochemistry.

resultsAZ304 exerted potent inhibitory effects on both wild type and V600E mutant forms of the serine/threonine-protein kinase BRAF, with IC

conclusionsThe BRAF inhibitor AZ304 has broad spectrum antitumour activity, which is significantly enhanced by combination with Cetuximab in colorectal cancers in vitro and in vivo.
