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

purposeGermline mutations in CDH1 are associated with hereditary diffuse gastric cancer (HDGC) and have been identified in multiple ethnicities. However, CDH1 germline mutations have seldom been documented in Chinese patients with HDGC, and their frequency remains unclear. Here, we aimed to examine the frequency of CDH1 germline mutations in Chinese patients with HDGC. In total, 285 patients who met the International Gastric Cancer Linkage Consortium 2015 testing criteria of HDGC for CDH1 germline mutations were recruited.

methodsAll 16 CDH1 exons, including neighboring intronic sequences, were amplified using polymerase chain reaction and screened using Sanger sequencing. Variants were analyzed using Mutation Surveyor V4.0, SIFT, and PolyPhen-2 software.

resultsThree nonsense and nine missense CDH1 germline mutations were identified in 21 of 285 index cases (7.4%). Two CDH1 germline mutations, N405Y (Asn405Tyr) and W409X (Trp409Ter), were identified as new variants. In addition, up to 28.6% of CDH1 mutations in the 21 indicated patients were identified as c.1775G>C (E551Q). The frequency of CDH1 mutations was 6.5% (7/108) in HDGC and 7.9% (14/177) in early onset diffuse gastric cancer (EODGC). The mutation detection rates of CDH1 in males and females were 6.7% (4/60) and 8.5% (10/117) in EODGC and 4.6% (3/65) and 9.3% (4/43) in HDGC, respectively.

conclusionThese data reveal, for the first time, the type and frequency of CDH1 germline mutations in Chinese HDGC and demonstrate that germline CDH1 mutations are a noteworthy contributor to the high frequency of HDGC in Chinese.
