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

backgroundThe progression of colorectal cancer (CRC) mainly stems from the occurrence of somatic mutation. However, there is little information that can be used to comprehensively analyse the importance of germline variants in CRC patients. PATIENTS AND

methodsThe candidate germline variants between tumor relapse and cured rectal adenocarcinoma (READ) were firstly filtered by whole-exome sequencing (n=4), and validated by targeted sequencing and associated with clinical outcome in READ (n=48).

resultsWe identified 9 pathogenic germline variants that were clinically associated with survival outcome in READ, including TIPIN, TLR1, TLR10, OR4D6, IGSF3, UBBP4, OR6J1, FAM208A and DISC1. Patients carrying these germline susceptibility variants had an increased risk of poor survival outcome compared to those without these variants.

conclusionNot only the tumor genome, but also the germline sequence must be analysed to depict the overall genetic profile, providing potential therapeutic strategies for personalized medicine.
