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

purposeWe aimed to identify new predictive biomarkers for cetuximab in first-line treatment for patients with RAS wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC).

methodsThe study included patients with KRAS wild-type unresectable liver-limited mCRC treated with chemotherapy with or without cetuximab. Next-generation sequencing was done for single nucleotide polymorphism according to custom panel. Potential predictive biomarkers were identified and integrated into a predictive model within a training cohort. The model was validated in a validation cohort.

resultsThirty-one of 247(12.6%) patients harbored RAS mutations. In training cohort (N=93), six potential predictive genes, namely, ATP6V1B1, CUL9, ERBB2, LY6G6D, PTCH1, and RBMXL3, were identified. According to predictive model, patients were divided into responsive group (n=66) or refractory group (n=27). In responsive group, efficacy outcomes were significantly improved by addition of cetuximab to chemotherapy. In refractory group, no benefit was observed. Interaction test was significant across all endpoints. In validation cohort (N=123), similar results were also observed.

conclusionsIn the first-line treatment of mCRC, the predictive model integrating six new predictive mutations divided patients well, indicating a promising approach to further refine patient selection for cetuximab on the basis of RAS mutations.
