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

Activating somatic K-Ras mutations are associated with >15% all human tumors and up to 90% of specific tumor types such as pancreatic cancer. Successfully inhibiting abnormal K-Ras signaling would therefore be a game changer in cancer therapy. However, K-Ras has long been considered an undruggable target for various reasons. This view is now changing by the discovery of allosteric inhibitors that directly target K-Ras and inhibit its functions, and by the identification of new mechanisms to dislodge it from the plasma membrane and thereby abrogate its cellular activities. In this review, we will discuss recent progresses and challenges to inhibiting aberrant K-Ras functions by these two approaches. We will also provide a broad overview of other approaches such as inhibition of K-Ras effectors, and offer a brief perspective on the way forward.
