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

backgroundRenal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a disease of genomic alterations, of which the complete panorama helps in facilitating molecular-guided therapy. Germline mutation profiles and associated somatic and clinical characteristics remains unexplored in Chinese RCC patients.

methodsWe retrospectively profiled the germline and somatic mutations of 322 unselected RCC patients using a panel consisting of 808 cancer-related genes. We categorized patients into three groups based on germline mutation status and compared the somatic mutation spectrum among different groups.

resultsApproximately one out of ten (9.9%) RCC patients were identified to carry pathogenic/likely pathogenic (P/LP) germline variants (PGVs), of which 3.7% were variants in syndromic RCC-associated genes and 6.2% were other cancer-predisposition genes. The most common PGV was found in

conclusionsOur results revealed that approximately 10% of RCC patients carried clinically significant germline mutations. Current guidelines recommendation for genetic testing seemed not sensitive enough to identify patients with hereditary RCC susceptibility. It is rational to promote genetic testing in RCC population.
