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

KRAS is a powerful oncogene responsible for the development of many cancers. Despite the great progress in understanding its function during the last decade, the study of KRAS expression, subcellular localization, and post-translational modifications remains technically challenging. Accordingly, many facets of KRAS biology are still unknown. Antibodies could be an effective and easy-to-use tool for in vitro and in vivo research on KRAS. Here, we generated a novel rabbit polyclonal antibody that allows immunolabeling of cells and tissues overexpressing KRAS. Cell transfection experiments with expression vectors for the members of the RAS family revealed a preferential specificity of this antibody for KRAS. In addition, KRAS was sensitively detected in a mouse tissue electroporated with an expression vector. Interestingly, our antibody was able to detect endogenous forms of unprenylated (immature) and prenylated (mature) KRAS in mouse organs. We found that KRAS prenylation was increased ex vivo and in vivo in a model of KRAS
