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

Accurate assessment of tumour heterogeneity is an important issue that influences prognosis and therapeutic decision in molecular pathology. Due to the shortage of protective histones and a limited DNA repair capacity, the mitochondrial (mt)-genome undergoes high variability during tumour development. Therefore, screening of mt-genome represents a useful molecular tool for assessing precise cell lineages and tracking tumour history. Here, we describe a highly specific and robust multiplex PCR-based ultra-deep sequencing technology for analysis of the whole mt-genome (wmt-seq) on low quality-DNA from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues. As a proof of concept, we applied the wmt-seq technology to characterize the clonal relationship of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) specimens with multiple lesions (N = 43) that show either different histological subtypes (group I) or pulmonary adenosquamous carcinoma as striking examples of a mixed-histology tumour (group II). The application of wmt-seq demonstrated that most samples bear common mt-mutations in each lesion of an individual patient, indicating a single cell progeny and clonal relationship. Hereby we show the monoclonal origin of histologically heterogeneous NSCLC and demonstrate the evolutionary relation of NSCLC cases carrying heteroplasmic mt-variants.
