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

backgroundTo confirm the feasibility and explore the clinical applicability of amplicon sequencing by next generation sequencing (NGS) of biopsy samples from patients with advanced solid tumors, we conducted a prospective study.

methodsPatients with unresectable, advanced, or recurrent solid tumors were included. Key eligibility criteria were as follows: 20 years or older, any planned systemic therapy, adequate lesion for biopsy, and written informed consent. Samples were fixed in 10% buffered formalin and embedded in paraffin. Cancer-derived DNA was extracted, and amplicon sequencing was performed using Ion AmpliseqTM Cancer Hotspot Panel version 1.0 or version 2.0 by central vendor. We evaluated the success rate of sequencing, and the proportion of the patients with actionable mutations. We organized an expert panel to share the results of targeted sequence, make annotations and reports, and discuss concomitant ethical/legal/social issues.

resultsA total of 232 patients were included, and 208 were successfully analyzed (success rate of 89.7%). The biopsy procedures were safe, with only one case of Grade 3 vasovagal reaction. The proportion of actionable/druggable mutations was 38.9% (81/208), which was not significantly different between the cancer panel version 1.0 and version 2.0 (P = 0.476). Expert panel could discuss the findings and make sufficient reports.

conclusionsWe confirmed the feasibility of NGS-based amplicon sequencing using biopsy samples, making the basis for nationwide genome screening for cancer patients using biopsy samples. Our results suggest that focused panel may be sufficient to detect major mutations.
