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

The development of resources for clinical interpretation of cancer-associated genetic alterations has significantly lagged behind the technical developments enabling their detection in a time- and cost-efficient manner. The lack of scientific and informatics decision support for oncologists can lead to no action being taken or suboptimal therapeutic choices being made, which could affect the clinical outcome of a patient as well as convoluting research findings from clinical trials. In this article, we describe the precision oncology decision support (PODS) platform developed within The Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan Institute for Personalized Cancer Therapy (IPCT) at MD Anderson Cancer Center; the platform aims to bridge the gap between molecular alteration detection and identification of appropriate treatments.
