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

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality globally, with KRAS mutations present in approximately 20-25% of cases. The KRAS-G12C mutation, occurring in approximately 14% of lung adenocarcinomas, has emerged as a critical target for precision medicine strategies. While KRAS-G12C inhibitors, including sotorasib and adagrasib, have shown promise in clinical trials, their efficacy is limited by primary and acquired resistance mechanisms. This study explored the potential of combining anlotinib, a multi-target tyrosine kinase inhibitor, with KRAS-G12C inhibitors to overcome these resistance challenges in NSCLC treatment. Our results demonstrated that anlotinib improved the sensitivity to KRAS-G12C inhibitors in primary and acquired resistance settings, both in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, the combination therapy inhibited c-Myc/ORC2 signaling, leading to cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. These findings suggest that the combination of anlotinib and KRAS-G12C inhibitors represents a promising novel therapeutic approach for KRAS-G12C-mutant NSCLC.
