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

backgroundSmall cell lung cancer (SCLC) is one of the deadliest malignancies and accounts for nearly 15% of lung cancers. Previous study had revealed the genomic characterization of SCLC in Western patients. However, little is known about that in Chinese SCLC patients.

methodsFormalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tumor tissues and matched blood samples from 122 Chinese SCLC patients were collected for next generation sequencing to detect 450 cancer-related genes. All pathological diagnoses were confirmed by independent pathologists.

resultsThe most frequently altered genes were TP53 (93.4%), RB1 (78.7%), LRP1B (18.9%), KMT2D (15.6%), FAT1 (11.5%), KMT2C (11.5%), SPTA1 (11.5%), STK24 (11.5%), FAM135B (10.7%), and NOTCH1 (10.7%). The gene fusion/rearrangement detection rate was 16.4%, and mostly occurred in chromosomes 7 and 17. The rate of co-occurring mutations of TP53 and RB1 in these Chinese SCLC patients was 74.6%, and lower than the reported Western patients (90.9%, P = 0.007). The most common gene mutations (83.6%) were found in cell cycle signaling pathway in Chinese SCLC patients. Mutation of Wnt and Notch signaling pathways in the Chinese cohort were lower than Western cohort (P = 0.0013 and 0.0068). A significant association was found between high tumor mutation burden and mutations involved in FAT1, TP53, SPTA1, KEAP1, KMT2D, MAGI2, NOTCH2, NOTCH3, FLT1, KDM6A, and FAT4.

conclusionsIn this study, we characterized the genomic alterations profile of Chinese SCLC patients. Compared with westerners, the genetic alterations of Chinese SCLC patients presented different patterns. Our data might provide useful information in targeted therapy and drug development for Chinese SCLC patients.
