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

Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS) mutations are associated with poor prognosis and poor response to standard therapeutic regimens in patients with nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Identification of novel synthetic lethal partners in oncogenic KRAS is an alternative therapeutic strategy for KRAS-mutant malignancies. After high-throughput screening against a preclinical/clinical compound library, embelin, a known X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP) inhibitor, specifically inhibits the catalytic activity and phosphorylation of Src homology domain 2 containing tyrosine phosphatase 2 (SHP2) in KRAS-mutant NSCLC cells. Pharmacological inhibition and genetic knockdown of XIAP and SHP2 induce synthetic lethality in KRAS-mutated NSCLC cells and xenograft animal models. Mechanistically, dual inhibition of XIAP and SHP2 by embelin lessens the proliferation and metastasis, activates senescence and endogenous apoptosis, inhibits cancer-related RAS/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT, Janus kinase/signal transducers and activators of transcription (JAK/STAT), wingless-related integration site (Wnt), and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathways, and overcomes compensatory feedback in the MAPK signals through the modulation of mitogen-inducible gene-6 (MIG-6) and SPROUTY2 (SPRY2). Collectively, SHP2 and XIAP are potential synthetic lethal partners, and embelin warrants further development as a novel therapeutic option for alleviating KRAS-mutant NSCLC by cotargeting SHP2 and XIAP.
