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

Anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) represents one of the most lethal human cancers and although this tumor type is rare, ATC accounts for the majority of deaths from thyroid cancer. Due to the rarity of ATC, a comprehensive genomic characterization of this tumor type has been challenging, and thus the development of new therapies has been lacking. To date, there is only one mutation-driven targeted therapy for BRAF-mutant ATC. Recent genomic studies have used next generation sequencing to define the genetic landscape of ATC in order to identify new therapeutic targets. Together, these studies have confirmed the role of oncogenic mutations of MAPK pathway as key drivers of differentiated thyroid cancer (BRAF, RAS), and that additional genetic alterations in the PI3K pathway, TP53, and the TERT promoter are necessary for anaplastic transformation. Recent novel findings have linked the high mutational burden associated with ATC with mutations in the Mismatch Repair (MMR) pathway and overactivity of the AID/APOBEC family of cytidine deaminases. Additional novel mutations include cell cycle genes, SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex, and histone modification genes. Mutations in RAC1 were also identified in ATC, which have important implications for BRAF-directed therapies. In this review, we summarize these novel findings and the new genetic landscape of ATC. We further discuss the development of therapies targeting these pathways that are being tested in clinical and preclinical studies.
