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

With improvements to DNA sequencing technologies, including the advent of massively parallel sequencing to perform "deep sequencing" of tissue samples, the ability to determine all of the nucleotide variations in a tumor becomes a possibility. This information will allow us to more fully understand the heterogeneity within each tumor, as well as to identify novel genes involved in cancer development. However, the new challenge that arises will be to interpret the pathogenic significance of each genetic variant. The enormity and complexity of this challenge can be demonstrated by focusing on just the genes involved in the hereditary colon cancer syndromes, familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and hereditary non-polyposis coli (HNPCC). The genes responsible for each disease were identified almost two decades ago -APC for FAP and the MMR genes for HNPCC - and a large number of germline variations have been identified in these genes in hereditary cancer patients. However, relating the effect of an individual genotype to phenotype is not always straightforward. This review focuses on the roles of the APC and MMR genes in tumor development and the work that has been done to relate different variants in each gene to functional aberrations and ultimately tumorigenesis. By considering the work that has already been done on two well-defined diseases with clear genetic associations, one can begin to understand the challenges that lie ahead as new genes and gene mutations are discovered through tumor sequencing.
