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

The Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homologue (KRAS) mutation is one of the most prevailing mutations in various tumors and is difficult to cure. Long-term proliferation in carcinogenesis is primarily initiated by oncogenic KRAS-downstream signaling. Recent research suggests that it also activates the autocrine effect and interplays the tumor microenvironment (TME). Here, we discuss the emerging research, including KRAS mutations to immune evasion in TME, which induce immunological modulation that promotes tumor development. This review gives an overview of the existing knowledge of the underlying connection between KRAS mutations and tumor immune modulation. It also addresses the mechanisms to reduce the effect of oncogenes on the immune system and recent advances in clinical trials for immunotherapy in KRAS-mutated cancers.
