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

Following the completion of the human genome sequence at the beginning of the new millennium, a series of high-throughput methods have changed cancer research. Using these techniques, global analysis such as expression profiling could be carried out on a genomic scale. In breast cancer they led to the classification of the intrinsic subtypes, and the development of several prognostic and predictive 'genomic tests' for patient stratification. During the last 2 years we have faced a similar dramatic revolution with the introduction of next generation sequencing (NGS). These techniques allow sequencing of the complete human exome or whole genome with a cost reduction in the order of 10,000-100,000 fold. Consequently, the number of known cancer genome sequences exploded with more than 6,000 samples, published between 2011 and 2013. These studies have led to important and surprising discoveries both for basic cancer research and clinical applications. They relate to understanding the development of cancer as well as the heterogeneity of the disease, and how to use this information to guide the development and application of therapies. Although it is foreseeable that the sequencing surveys of neoplasms will soon conclude, their introduction into clinical practice is just beginning.
