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

The RAF/MEK/ERK pathway is a crucial signal path which is closely associated with the proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis of tumors. MEK1/2 is a key kinase target in the pathway, with ERK1/2 acting as the main substrate of it. Despite the rapid development of MEK1/2 inhibitors, acquired resistance still happens and remains a significant problem. Most of the inhibitors possess a similar diarylamine scaffold. Here we designed and synthesized a series of MEK1/2 degraders based on a coumarin derivative which was a potent non-diarylamine allosteric MEK1/2 inhibitor.
