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

Esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) is associated with a marked genomic instability, which underlies disease progression and development of resistance to treatment. In this study, we used an integrated genomics approach to identify a genomic instability signature. Here we show that elevated expression of this signature correlates with poor survival in EAC as well as three other cancers. Knockout and overexpression screens establish the relevance of these genes to genomic instability. Indepth evaluation of three genes (TTK, TPX2 and RAD54B) confirms their role in genomic instability and tumor growth. Mutational signatures identified by whole genome sequencing and functional studies demonstrate that DNA damage and homologous recombination are common mechanisms of genomic instability induced by these genes. Our data suggest that the inhibitors of TTK and possibly other genes identified in this study have potential to inhibit/reduce growth and spontaneous as well as chemotherapy-induced genomic instability in EAC and possibly other cancers.
