KSR1 mediates small-cell lung carcinoma tumor initiation and cisplatin resistance.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) has a dismal five-year survival rate of less than 7%, with limited advances in first line treatment over the past four decades. Tumor-initiating cells (TICs) contribute to resistance and relapse, a major impediment to SCLC treatment. Here, we identify Kinase Suppressor of Ras 1 (KSR1), a molecular scaffold for the Raf/MEK/ERK signaling cascade, as a critical regulator of SCLC TIC formation and tumor initiation Statement of Implication: Genetic manipulation of the molecular scaffold KSR1 in small-cell lung cancer cells reveals its contribution to cisplatin resistance and tumor initiation.
