Clinical Activity of Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Inhibitors in Patients With MAP2K1 (MEK1)-Mutated Metastatic Cancers.

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
purposeMAP2K1/MEK1 mutations are potentially actionable drivers in cancer. MAP2K1 mutations have been functionally classified into three groups according to their dependency on upstream RAS/RAF signaling. However, the clinical efficacy of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway inhibitors (MAPKi) for MAP2K1-mutant tumors is not well defined. We sought to characterize the genomic and clinical landscape of MAP2K1 mutant tumors to evaluate the relationship between MAP2K1 mutation class and clinical activity of MAPKi.
methodsWe interrogated American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) GENIE (v13) to analyze solid tumors with MAP2K1 mutations. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of published reports of patients with MAP2K1-mutant cancers treated with MAPKi according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. The primary end point was progression-free survival (PFS), and secondary end points were overall treatment response rate (ORR), duration of response (DOR), and overall survival.
resultsIn the AACR GENIE data set, class 2 MAP2K1 mutations (63%) were more prevalent than class 1 (24%) and class 3 (13%) mutations (
conclusionPatients with class 2 MAP2K1 mutations represent a novel subgroup that may derive benefit from MAPKi. Prospective clinical studies with novel MAPKi regimens are warranted in these patients.
