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

Background: The molecular non-genetic changes of resistance to sotorasib are currently uncertain. The aim of this study was to generate a sotorasib-resistant cell line via selective pressure and systematically examine the molecular and phenotypic alterations caused by resistance. Methods: Mutant NCI-H358 (KRAS Results: Sotorasib-resistant H358-R cell line displayed markers of the mesenchymal-epithelial transition and loss of cell adhesion. Were identified 30 overexpressed genes in the resistance model, implicating in signaling pathways that leads to AKT activation and heightened protein expression levels of phosphorylated AKT and p38. To identify potential therapeutic strategies for overcoming sotorasib resistance, we investigated the combination of AKT and p38 inhibitors. Notably, combined inhibition of AKT (MK2206) and p38 (adezmapimod) restored sensitivity to sotorasib in resistant cell lines, as did silencing AKT expression. Conclusion: These findings underscore the importance of adaptive mechanisms in sotorasib resistance in NSCLC cells contributing by EMT activation and demonstrates synergic combination with AKT and p38 inhibitors to restore sotorasib sensitivity in KRAS
