In the citing paper
“This high prevalence is significant as it makes PDAC arguably the most RAS-addicted cancer, with substantial experimental evidence that mutant KRAS is essential for its growth [107].”
From Significance of TP53, CDKN2A, SMAD4 and KRAS in Pancreatic Cancer (2024) · cites this paper as [107]
The cited source says what the claim attributes to it.
In the citing paper
“In particular, the KRAS isoform is mutated in 84% of all RAS-mutant cancers, with a near 100% mutation frequency in PDAC.”
From Significance of TP53, CDKN2A, SMAD4 and KRAS in Pancreatic Cancer (2024) · cites this paper as [107]
In the citing paper
“The majority of KRAS mutations are at codon 12, with the highest prevalence of G12D mutation (35%), followed by G12V (20–30%), G12R (10–20%), Q61 (~5%), G12C (1–2%), and other rare muations9–12.”
From Impact of KRAS mutations and co-mutations on clinical outcomes in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (2024) · cites this paper as [9]
In the citing paper
“In pancreatic cancer, KRAS mutation is often the initiating genetic event leading to pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasms. Carcinogenesis and metastasis are stimulated by acquiring other mutations such as p53 (64%), SMAD4 (21%), and CDKN2A (17%) [63].”
From Drugging KRAS: Current perspectives and state-of-art review (2022) · cites this paper as [63]
In the citing paper
“A number of highly selective and potent inhibitors have been developed against kinases in the Ras signaling network particularly those in the MAPK and PI3K/mTOR pathways (9, 12).”
From KRAS mutation in pancreatic cancer (2021) · cites this paper as [12]
In the citing paper
“the KRASG12C allele occurs in only 1.6% of PDAC cases, whereas the KRASG12D allele is present in greater than 40%, followed in frequency by KRASG12V and KRASG12R mutations74.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
