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

backgroundThe KRAS p.G12C mutation is a major oncogenic driver in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), a prevalent subtype of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The development of sotorasib has provided a new targeted therapeutic option for patients with this mutation.

methodsKRAS G12C mutations and expression in LUAD were analyzed. A pharmacophore model-based screening of over 1.4 billion conformations was conducted. Molecular docking, drug-likeness, pharmacokinetics, and toxicity predictions were carried out to explore ligands. Binding stability and key residue interactions were evaluated using extra-precision docking, molecular dynamics, H-bond lifetimes, FEL, PCA, and MM-GBSA analyses.

resultsKRAS mutations were identified in 36% of LUAD samples, with G12C being the most frequent. KRAS p.G12C expression was significantly elevated in mutants (log

conclusionsThe compounds, including PubChem-137,082,465 and PubChem-154,677,904, exhibited favorable binding and favorable interaction profiles, comparable to sotorasib, positioning them as computationally prioritized candidates for KRAS p.G12C inhibition in LUAD.
