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 difference in molecular gene mutation profile, tumor mutational burden (TMB) and their prognostic effects in lung adenocarcinoma between different ethnic groups are still unknown. A retrospective analysis was used to investigate the differences in lung adenocarcinoma driver gene mutations, TMB, and their impact on prognosis across different ethnic groups.

methodsThe incidence of epidermal growth factor receptor (

resultsA comparison of tumor signaling pathways and gene mutation profiles between Caucasians and Chinese revealed ethnic variations in the incidence of mutations in TGF-β and RTK-RAS signaling pathways, with P values of 0.012 and 0.016, respectively. In the Caucasian population, the mutations in 5 signaling pathways and 18 genes were all significantly correlated with TMB, whereas in the Chinese population, only mutations in the Notch pathway and 6 genes were found to be associated with TMB-high.

conclusionsVariations in the incidence of mutations in signaling pathways involved in lung adenocarcinoma and the correlation of the signaling pathways with TMB may exist across different ethnic groups.
