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

Adenocarcinoma at the gastroesophageal junction (ACGEJ) has dismal clinical outcomes, and there are currently few specific effective therapies because of limited knowledge on its genomic and transcriptomic alterations. The present study investigates genomic and transcriptomic changes in ACGEJ from Chinese patients and analyzes their drug vulnerabilities and associations with the survival time. Here we show that the major genomic changes of Chinese ACGEJ patients are chromosome instability promoted tumorigenic focal copy-number variations and COSMIC Signature 17-featured single nucleotide variations. We provide a comprehensive profile of genetic changes that are potentially vulnerable to existing therapeutic agents and identify Signature 17-correlated IFN-α response pathway as a prognostic marker that might have practical value for clinical prognosis of ACGEJ. These findings further our understanding on the molecular biology of ACGEJ and may help develop more effective therapeutic strategies.
