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

purposeTo clinically use the UCSF500, a pancancer, next-generation sequencing assay in uveal melanoma (UM) and to correlate results with gene expression profiling (GEP) and predictive factors for metastasis.

methodsCohort study. Tumor samples of adult UM patients were analyzed with the UCSF500 and GEP. Main outcomes were copy number changes in chromosomes 1, 3, 6, and 8 and mutations in

resultsThe 62 patients had a mean age of 59 years (range, 24-89 years). Chromosome 3 loss was detected in 30 patients and was associated with larger basal tumor diameter (Wilcoxon rank sum test,

conclusionsUCSF500 detects chromosomal copy number changes and missense mutations that correlate strongly with metastasis predictors, including GEP. TRANSLATIONAL RELEVANCE: Next-generation sequencing of UM should enhance survival prognostication.
