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

BACKGROUND/

aimThe aim of this study was to analyse the genetic profiles of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) by using next generation sequencing to identify variants with pathogenic potential in nine DNA repair genes - BRCA1, BRCA2, RAD50, RAD51, RAD51C/D, ATM and ATR. MATERIALS AND

methodsIsolated genomic DNA from peripheral blood of 50 patients with mCRPC was used for the sequencing of 111 genes associated with hereditary cancer on an Illumina platform. Identified variants were tested in Integrative Genomic Viewer, their clinical significance confirmed in databases and their potential impact on protein function predicted by in silico tools.

resultsFrom nine analysed DNA repair genes, we identified 14 relevant variants; three pathogenic variants - BRCA2 (rs80359306), RAD50 (rs786201531) and ATM (rs1555099760), and eleven other variants with pathogenic potential.

conclusionThe pathogenic variants identified in this study are located in evolutionarily conserved regions of proteins and are highly likely to affect DNA repair efficiency.
