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

purposePatients with RAS-positive tumors respond poorly to chemotherapies and have a few treatment options. Salirasib is an oral RAS inhibitor that competitively blocks the membrane association of RAS proteins. The aim of this phase I multiple-ascending-dose clinical trial was to investigate the safety and pharmacokinetics of Salirasib in Japanese patients with relapsed/refractory solid tumors and to explore its efficacy.

methodsSalirasib was started at a dose of 100-mg twice-daily and escalated to a maximum of 1000-mg twice-daily from days 1 to 21 of a 28-day regimen. The pharmacokinetics was evaluated on days 1 and 21. Dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) and adverse events (AEs) were monitored throughout the trial. Patients with stable disease or better repeated the dosing regimen.

resultsA total of 21 patients received Salirasib. Among 14 patients tested, 4 had KRAS mutations. C

conclusionSalirasib was safe and well tolerated in Japanese patients, and 800-mg twice-daily is recommended for phase II trials. Although the number of participants with KRAS mutations was limited, the remarkably long progression-free period warrants further investigation. CLINICAL
