Effects of KRAS, STK11, KEAP1, and TP53 mutations on the clinical outcomes of immune checkpoint inhibitors among patients with lung adenocarcinoma.
Article in PloS one, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 11 papers.
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
backgroundThis study aimed to identify the associations between individual KRAS, STK11, KEAP1, or TP53 mutations, as well as the comutation status of these genes, and the tumor mutation burden (TMB) with clinical outcomes of lung adenocarcinoma patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs).
methodsWe collected data from patients with lung adenocarcinoma treated with ICIs from the Center for Cancer Genomics and Advanced Therapeutics (C-CAT) database between June 2019 and August 2023. The main endpoints were the treatment response and overall survival (OS).
resultsAmong 343 patients with lung adenocarcinoma, 61 (18%), 69 (20%), 41 (12%), and 222 (65%) patients had KRAS, STK11, KEAP1, and TP53 mutations, respectively. An overall objective response was observed in 94 of 338 patients (28%), including 2 (1%) who achieved a complete response and 92 (27%) who achieved a partial response. Patients with STK11, KEAP1, or TP53 mutations had a significantly greater TMB (P<0.001). According to the univariate analysis, the treatment response was significantly correlated with TP53 mutation in both the general (P = 0.041) and KRAS wild-type (P = 0.009) populations. KEAP1 and TP53 mutations were associated with worse OS among assessable patients (hazard ratio (HR) = 2.027, P = 0.002; HR = 1.673, P = 0.007, respectively) and among patients without KRAS mutations (HR = 1.897, P = 0.012; HR = 1.908, P = 0.004, respectively). According to the multivariate analysis, KEAP1 (HR = 1.890, P = 0.008) and TP53 (HR = 1.735, P = 0.011) mutations were found to be independent factors for OS.
conclusionsSTK11, KEAP1, and TP53 mutations are significantly associated with a high TMB. TP53 mutation could affect the treatment response to some degree, and both KEAP1 and TP53 mutations resulted in inferior OS in the general patient population and in those with KRAS-wild-type lung adenocarcinoma, indicating that KEAP1 and TP53 mutations might act as prognostic factors for ICI treatment in lung adenocarcinoma patients.
