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

Tumor cells evade targeted drugs by rewiring their genetic and epigenetic networks. Here, we identified that inhibition of MAPK signaling rapidly induces an epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition program by promoting re-localization of an apical-basal polarity protein, Scribble, in oncogene-addicted lung cancer models. Mis-localization of Scribble suppressed Hippo-YAP signaling, leading to YAP nuclear translocation. Furthermore, we discovered that a RAS superfamily protein MRAS is a direct target of YAP. Treatment with KRAS G12C inhibitors induced MRAS expression, which formed a complex with SHOC2, precipitating feedback activation of MAPK signaling. Abrogation of YAP activation or MRAS induction enhanced the efficacy of KRAS G12C inhibitor treatment in vivo. These results highlight a role for protein localization in the induction of a non-genetic mechanism of resistance to targeted therapies in lung cancer. Furthermore, we demonstrate that induced MRAS expression is a key mechanism of adaptive resistance following KRAS G12C inhibitor treatment.
