[Detection of BRAF V600E mutation in metastatic colorectal carcinoma : A QuIP round robin test].
Review in Der Pathologe, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
Round robin testing is an important instrument for quality assurance. Increasingly, this also applies to the results of molecular diagnostics in pathology, which directly influence therapy decisions in precision oncology. In metastatic colorectal carcinoma (mCRC), the focus has been on detecting KRAS and NRAS mutations, whose absence allows therapy with EGFR blocking antibodies. Recently, BRAF has been added as another predictive marker, since mCRC patients with BRAF V600E mutation benefit significantly from treatment with encorafenib (a BRAF inhibitor) in combination with cetuximab (anti-EGFR antibody) after systemic therapy. Due to the approval of this treatment in 2020, it is a pre-requisite that BRAF V600E mutation detection in diagnostic pathologies is reliably performed. Therefore, this round robin test with BRAF V600E testing either by immunohistochemistry or molecular methods was performed. The round robin test results demonstrate that molecular BRAF V600E detection is currently clearly superior to immunohistochemical detection.
