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

backgroundHomologous recombination deficiency (HRD) is characterized by overall genomic instability and has emerged as an indispensable therapeutic target across various tumor types, particularly in ovarian cancer (OV). Unfortunately, current detection assays are far from perfect for identifying every HRD patient. The purpose of this study was to infer HRD from the landscape of copy number variation (CNV).

methodsGenome-wide CNV landscape was measured in OV patients from the Australian Ovarian Cancer Study (AOCS) clinical cohort and >10,000 patients across 33 tumor types from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). HRD-predictive CNVs at subchromosomal resolution were identified through exploratory analysis depicting the CNV landscape of HRD

resultsAt subchromosomal resolution, 8q24.2 amplification and 5q13.2 deletion were predominantly witnessed in HRD patients (both

conclusionsThe CNV landscape serves as a generalized predictor of HRD in cancer patients not limited to OV. The detection of CNV at subchromosomal or genetic resolution could aid in the personalized treatment of HRD patients.
