Comprehensive kinome NGS targeted expression profiling by KING-REX.
Article in BMC genomics, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundProtein kinases are enzymes controlling different cellular functions. Genetic alterations often result in kinase dysregulation, making kinases a very attractive class of druggable targets in several human diseases. Existing approved drugs still target a very limited portion of the human 'kinome', demanding a broader functional knowledge of individual and co-expressed kinase patterns in physiologic and pathologic settings. The development of novel rapid and cost-effective methods for kinome screening is therefore highly desirable, potentially leading to the identification of novel kinase drug targets.
resultsIn this work, we describe the development of KING-REX (KINase Gene RNA EXpression), a comprehensive kinome RNA targeted custom assay-based panel designed for Next Generation Sequencing analysis, coupled with a dedicated data analysis pipeline. We have conceived KING-REX for the gene expression analysis of 512 human kinases; for 319 kinases, paired assays and custom analysis pipeline features allow the evaluation of 3'- and 5'-end transcript imbalances as readout for the prediction of gene rearrangements. Validation tests on cell line models harboring known gene fusions demonstrated a comparable accuracy of KING-REX gene expression assessment as in whole transcriptome analyses, together with a robust detection of transcript portion imbalances in rearranged kinases, even in complex RNA mixtures or in degraded RNA.
conclusionsThese results support the use of KING-REX as a rapid and cost effective kinome investigation tool in the field of kinase target identification for applications in cancer biology and other human diseases.
