Review in ESMO open, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Precision oncology aims to distinguish which patients are eligible for a specific treatment in order to achieve the best possible outcome. In the last few years, genetic screens have shown their potential to find the new targets and drug combinations as well as predictive biomarkers for response and/or resistance to cancer treatment. In this review, we outline how precision oncology is changing over time and describe the different applications of genetic screens. Finally, we present some practical examples that describe the utility and the limitations of genetic screens in precision oncology.
