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

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a highly prevalent and lethal cancer worldwide. Approximately 45% of CRC patients harbor a gain-in-function mutation in KRAS. KRAS is the most frequently mutated oncogene accounting for approximately 25% of all human cancers. Gene mutations in KRAS cause constitutive activation of the KRAS protein and MAPK/AKT signaling, resulting in unregulated proliferation and survival of cancer cells and other aspects of malignant transformation, progression, and metastasis. While KRAS has long been considered undruggable, the FDA recently approved two direct acting KRAS inhibitors, Sotorasib and Adagrasib, that covalently bind and inactivate KRAS
