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

purposeGastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), the most common mesenchymal tumor with KIT or PDGFRA driver mutations, is typically treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI). However, resistance to TKIs due to secondary mutations is a common challenge in advanced GISTs. In addition, there are currently no effective therapies for several other molecular subtypes, such as succinate dehydrogenase-deficient GISTs. Therefore, novel therapeutic strategies are needed. EXPERIMENTAL

designTo address this need, we tested the efficacy of a novel non-TKI compound, OPB-171775, using patient-derived xenograft models of GISTs. In parallel, we sought to elucidate the mechanism of action of the compound.

resultsOur study revealed that OPB-171775 exhibited significant efficacy against GISTs regardless of their KIT mutation status by inducing complex formation between phosphodiesterase 3A (PDE3A) and Schlafen family member 12 (SLFN12), which are highly expressed in GISTs, leading to SLFN12 RNase-mediated cell death. Furthermore, we identified the activation of general control non-derepressible 2 and its downstream response as an effector pathway of SLFN12 in mediating anticancer activity and revealed potential pharmacodynamic markers.

conclusionsThese findings suggest that OPB-171775, with its significant efficacy, could potentially serve as a novel and effective treatment option for advanced GISTs, particularly those resistant to TKIs.
