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

Ovarian mucinous carcinoma (OMC) is a rare subtype of ovarian cancer characterized by frequent KRAS mutations and a poor response to platinum- and taxane-based chemotherapy, underscoring the need for novel therapeutic strategies. MRTX1133, a recently developed non-covalent and selective KRAS (G12D) inhibitor, has demonstrated potent antitumor activity in pancreatic and colorectal cancers; however, its efficacy in OMC remains unexplored. In the present study, the antitumor effects of MRTX1133 in the KRAS (G12D)-mutant OMC cell line MCAS and its interactions with conventional chemotherapeutic agents were evaluated. Cell viability was assessed using WST-1 assays, ERK phosphorylation was evaluated by western blotting and gene expression levels were analyzed by reverse transcription-quantitative PCR. Results indicated that MRTX1133 suppressed MCAS cell proliferation in a concentration-dependent manner, whereas proliferation of KRAS wild-type and KRAS (G12S)-mutant cells was not significantly inhibited. Treatment markedly inhibited ERK phosphorylation, suggesting suppression of the MAPK pathway. MRTX1133 reduced the mRNA expression of Ki-67 and numerous cyclins (D1, A2 and B1), suggesting attenuation of proliferative signaling. When combined with cytotoxic agents, including paclitaxel, SN38, gemcitabine and cisplatin, MRTX1133 reduced the sensitivity to cell cycle-dependent chemotherapeutic agents, namely paclitaxel, SN38 and gemcitabine, while not affecting the activity of the non-cell cycle-dependent agent cisplatin. The present study therefore provided preclinical evidence for the potential utility of KRAS (G12D)-targeted therapy in OMC and highlights the importance of sequential rather than concurrent scheduling of MRTX1133 with cell cycle-dependent chemotherapy to optimize therapeutic efficacy.
