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

The Kirsten rat sarcoma virus-son of sevenless 1 (KRAS-SOS1) axis drives tumor growth preferentially in pancreatic, colon, and lung cancer. Now, KRAS G12C mutated tumors can be successfully treated with inhibitors that covalently block the cysteine of the switch II binding pocket of KRAS. However, the range of other KRAS mutations is not amenable to treatment and the G12C-directed agents Sotorasib and Adragrasib show a response rate of only approximately 40%, lasting for a mean period of 8 months. One approach to increase the efficacy of inhibitors is their inclusion into proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs), which degrade the proteins of interest and exhibit much higher antitumor activity through multiple cycles of activity. Accordingly, PROTACs have been developed based on KRAS- or SOS1-directed inhibitors coupled to either von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) or Cereblon (CRBN) ligands that invoke the proteasomal degradation. Several of these PROTACs show increased activity
