Effect of KRAS mutation status on clinicopathological characteristics and overall survival in patients with rectal cancer.
Article in BMC gastroenterology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundKRAS mutations in rectal cancer are associated with a conflict prognosis. This study aimed to compare clinicopathological outcomes of patients and tumor criteria between wKRAS and mKRAS, as well as overall survival in the two groups.
methodsThe research retrospectively analyzed a cohort of 193 patients who received surgical treatment for rectal adenocarcinoma between May 2015 and December 2023. The patients were categorized into two groups according to their KRAS status: wild-type KRAS (wKRAS) and mutant KRAS (mKRAS), with performing research on mKRAS
resultsThe mKRAS group included 100 patients(51.8%) and had no significantly difference in age, sex, distance from anus, tumor node metastasis(TNM), lymphovascular invasion(LVI), grade differentiation, and perineural invasion(PNI), carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA) level than that in wKRAS group.KRAS
conclusionThe overall survival duration for wKRAS was superior to that of mKRAS; however, the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant. In contrast, the survival time for KRAS RETROSPECTIVELY REGISTERED: K2024-07-037.2024,7.
