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

DNA-damaging agents are commonly used for first-line chemotherapy of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). As a G2/M checkpoint kinase, Wee1 can phosphorylate CDC2-tyr15 and induce G2/M cell cycle arrest in response to DNA damage. The correlation of WEE1 polymorphisms to the efficacy of chemotherapy was tested in 663 advanced NSCLC patients. WEE1 rs3910384 genotype correlated to overall survival (OS) and progress-free survival (PFS) of NSCLC patients treated with platinum-based chemotherapy. Sub-group analysis revealed that rs3910384 was particularly associated with the efficacy of doublet chemotherapy combining two DNA-damaging agents, i.e. platinum and gemcitabine. NSCLC patients with the WEE1 rs3910384 G/G homozygote genotype showed 13.5 months extended OS, 3.2 months extended PFS, and a 274% relative increase in their 3-year survival rate (from 7.4% to 27.7%) compared to the A/A+A/G genotype after treatment with platinum-gemcitabine regimen. This finding was reproduced in the validation cohort. We utilized a luciferase reporter assay and Electrophoretic Mobility Shift Assay (EMSA) to demonstrate that rs3910384-linked WEE1 promoter haplotype can mediate allele-specific transcriptional binding and WEE1 expression in DNA damage response. In conclusion, the WEE1 rs3910384 G/G homozygote genotype can be used as a selective biomarker for NSCLC patients to indicate treatment with platinum and gemcitabine regimen.
