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

Resistance to inactive state-selective RASG12C inhibitors frequently entails accumulation of RASGTP, rendering effective inhibition of active RAS potentially desirable. Here, we evaluated the antitumor activity of the RAS(ON) multiselective tricomplex inhibitor RMC-7977 and dissected mechanisms of response and tolerance in KRASG12C-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Broad-spectrum reversible RASGTP inhibition with or without concurrent covalent targeting of active RASG12C yielded superior and differentiated antitumor activity across diverse comutational KRASG12C-mutant NSCLC mouse models of primary or acquired RASG12C(ON) or RASG12C(OFF) inhibitor resistance. Interrogation of time-resolved single-cell transcriptional responses established an in vivo atlas of multimodal acute and chronic RAS pathway inhibition in the NSCLC ecosystem and uncovered a regenerative mucinous transcriptional program that supports long-term tumor cell persistence. In patients with advanced KRASG12C-mutant NSCLC, the presence of mucinous histologic features portended poor response to sotorasib or adagrasib. Our results have potential implications for personalized medicine and the development of rational RAS inhibitor-anchored therapeutic strategies. Significance: Our work reveals robust and durable antitumor activity of the preclinical RAS(ON) multiselective inhibitor RMC-7977 against difficult-to-treat subsets of KRASG12C-mutant NSCLC with primary or acquired RASG12C inhibitor resistance and identifies a conserved mucinous transcriptional state that supports RAS inhibitor tolerance.
