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

KRAS is the most frequently mutated oncogene in human cancer. In multiple types of cancer, a missense mutation at codon 12 substitutes a glycine for a cysteine, causing hyperactivation of the GTPase and enhanced MAPK signalling. Recent drug discovery efforts culminating from work during the past decade have resulted in two FDA-approved inhibitors, sotorasib and adagrasib, which target the KRAS
