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

Gastric cancer is a highly heterogeneous disease and the second leading cause of cancer-associated mortality. However, the genomic basis of gastric cancer is not completely understood and the underlying genetic heterogeneity has not been well studied. In the present study, 1,021 genes were sequenced and the somatic mutations of 45 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded gastric adenocarcinoma samples were assessed using next-generation sequencing technologies. In the present study, a median sequencing coverage depth of 708-fold was achieved. Somatic genomic alterations were detected in 37/45 patients (82.4%) and the most frequent genetic alterations identified were tumor protein P53 (TP53) gene mutations. Mutations in MLL4, ERBB3, FBXW7, MLL3, MTOR, NOTCH1, PIK3CA, KRAS, ERBB4 and EGFR were also detected. Patients with TP53 mutations had a higher number of somatic mutations, and the total number of somatic mutations was weakly correlated with patient age. These results provided data on the intratumoral heterogeneity of gastric cancer and may be used in order to develop personalized cancer therapy.
