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

Colorectal cancer is the third most prevalent cancer in the world. Early screening and detection of tumours, active surgical radical treatment, postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy are performed based on pathological staging and immunohistochemistry. Even with these measures, the 5-year survival rate of colorectal cancer is only 65%, and a considerable number of patients still experience tumour recurrence or even metastasis. The KRAS G12C mutation accounts for 3 to 4% of refractory colorectal cancer (advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer), and it was once believed that KRAS did not have a drug target until the emergence of KRAS G12C inhibitors provided targeted treatment for KRAS-mutated colorectal cancer. However, KRAS G12C inhibitors only produce moderate efficacy, and resistance occurs after a short remission. The mechanism of drug resistance in tumour cells is complex and diverse, and existing research has limited understanding of it. This review aims to elucidate the clinical trial progress of KRAS G12C inhibitors in refractory colorectal cancer, the research progress of drug resistance mechanisms, and the combined treatment strategies for drug resistance.
