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

Technological advances in the ability to read the human genome have accelerated the speed of sequencing, such that today we can perform whole genome sequencing (WGS) in one day. Until recently, genomic studies have largely been limited to seeking novel scientific discoveries. The application of new insights gained through cancer WGS into the clinical domain, have been relatively limited. Looking ahead, a vast amount of data can be generated by genomic studies. Of note, excellent organisation of genomic and clinical data permits the application of machine-learning methods which can lead to the development of clinical algorithms that could assist future clinicians and genomicists in the analysis and interpretation of individual cancer genomes. Here, we describe what can be gleaned from holistic whole cancer genome profiling and argue that we must build the infrastructure and educational frameworks to support the modern clinical genomicist to prepare for a future where WGS will be the norm.
