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

backgroundNon-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has the highest cancer mortality rate in the world, but currently there is no effective method of dynamic monitoring. Gene mutation is an important factor in tumorigenesis and can be detected using high-throughput sequencing technology. This study aimed to analyze the driving genes in the tumor of NSCLC patients by whole exon sequencing, and to compare and analyze the subclones of the tumor at different time points.

methodsWe collected 87 cases of NSCLC tumor tissues, para-cancer tissues, and peripheral blood samples for detecting cell-free DNAs (cfDNAs) from January 2016 to December 2018, and whole-exome sequencing was performed. The gene mutation map of NSCLC was drawn in detail by second-generation sequencing data analysis and new driver genes were found. In addition, we performed a subclonal analysis of tumors from different stages of the same patient to further describe the tumor heterogeneity.

resultsWe found that the clonal analysis obtained by cfDNA detection was similar to the clonal analysis of the tissue samples, so real-time monitoring of tumor changes can be carried out through monitoring cfDNA.

conclusionsThis study provides evidence for studying the gene mutation information of NSCLC and shows the importance of cfDNA in the analysis of tumor subcloning information.
