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

SOS1 is one of the key regulators of KRAS where it catalyzes the GTP-to-GDP turnover required for KRAS activation. Inhibition of the SOS1::KRAS interaction is an attractive strategy to modulate abnormal KRAS activation, which is responsible for several malignancies. In this work, we performed a virtual screening campaign on the AstraZeneca compound collection with Heavy Atom Count between 21 and 26 and identified two novel and efficient binders of SOS1 which fulfill the minimal pharmacophoric requirements disclosed in known compounds. Subsequently, structure- and knowledge-based approaches were applied to develop these binders into functional inhibitors of SOS1.
