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

backgroundThe KRAS inhibitor KR12, based on pyrrole-imidazole polyamide (PIP), has been developed and shown to exhibit efficacy in mouse experiments. Because some PIP species exhibit tumor accumulation capability, we decided to evaluate whether the PIP portion of KR12 exhibits tumor accumulation. We employed the CAM assay that provides a simple method for tumor accumulation evaluation.

methodsKR12 PIP was synthesized and conjugated to TAMRA to produce a fluorescently labeled reagent (KR12-TAMRA). This reagent was injected into a fertilized chicken egg that has been transplanted with human cancer cells. Distribution of the red fluorescence was examined by cutting out tumor as well as various organs from the embryo.

resultsThe red fluorescence of KR12-TAMRA was found to overlap with the green fluorescence of the tumor formed with GFP-expressing cancer cells. We also observed nuclear localization of KR12-TAMRA. Treatment of KR12 that contained the alkylating agent CBI in the tumor-bearing chicken egg resulted in tumor growth inhibition.

conclusionsKR12 contains a PIP that has two key features: tumor accumulation and nuclear localization. KR12 conjugated with CBI exhibits inhibition of tumor growth in the CAM model.
