Review in Translational lung cancer research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Background and Objective: The genetic nature of cancer provides the rationale to support the need for molecular diagnosis and patient selection for individualised antineoplastic treatments that are the best in both tolerability and efficacy for each cancer patient, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS) mutations represent the prevalent oncogenic driver in NSCLC, being detected in roughly one-third of cases and KRAS G12C is the most frequent mutation found in approximately 13% of patients. Methods: This paper gives an overview of the numerous scientific efforts in recent decades aimed at KRAS inhibition. Key Content and Findings: Sotorasib is the first approved KRAS G12C inhibitor that has been shown to provide a durable clinical benefit in patients with pre-treated NSCLC with KRAS G12C mutation. Together with the development of new targeted drugs, the development of strategies to control resistance mechanisms is one of the major drivers of research that is exploring the use of KRAS inhibitors not only alone, but also in combination with other targeted therapies, chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Conclusions: This review will describe the major therapeutic developments in KRAS mutation-dependent NSCLC and will analyse future perspectives to maximise benefits for this group of patients.
