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 mutations are one of the most common genetic abnormalities in cancer, especially lung, colon, and pancreatic cancers. Strategies targeting the oncogenic KRAS pathway include direct and indirect approaches. KRAS-G12C inhibitors developed based on binding to the switch II pocket structure of KRAS mutant protein represent a breakthrough in the development of targeted therapeutic strategies against oncogenic proteins previously considered undruggable. The covalent KRAS-G12C inhibitors sotorasib (AMG510) and adagrasib (MRTX849) are used to treat patients with KRAS-G12C-mutated non-small cell lung cancer. Emerging research shows that other host point mutations in KRAS can also be directly targeted by small-molecule compounds. Recently, through extensive structure-based drug design from Mirati Therapeutics, a novel non-covalent KRAS-G12D inhibitor, MRTX1133, showed significant preclinical antitumor activity in KRAS-G12D-bearing tumor cells, especially pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Here, we discuss the selectivity, efficacy, toxicity, and potential application challenges of this novel targeted protein inhibitor.
