Variants of ERCC5 and the outcome of platinum-based regimens in non-small cell lung cancer: a prospective cohort study.
Article in Medical oncology (Northwood, London, England), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Excision repair complementary complex 5 (ERCC5) is an important component in the repair pathway of platinum-induced damage. The current study evaluated the effect of ERCC5 variants (rs751402 and rs1047768) on the clinical outcome of platinum-based regimens in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. A prospective, cohort study was conducted on 57 newly diagnosed NSCLC Egyptian patients. Patients received either cisplatin or carboplatin-based chemotherapy. DNA was extracted and the variants were analyzed using real time PCR. This study found no significant difference between the studied variants and patients' response to chemotherapy, progression-free survival (PFS) or overall survival (OS). However, a statistically significant association was found between the histologic subtypes and the studied variants (p = 0.028 and 0.018 for rs751402 and rs1047768, respectively). A statistically significant association was evident between the type of the allele present in the studied polymorphisms, p value = 0.000040. Moreover, the minor allele frequency (MAF) of the studied variants rs751402 and rs1047768 were similar to those of African and European populations, respectively. Results of this study have concluded that ERCC5 variants did not affect the clinical outcome of platinum-based chemotherapy in NSCLC. A significant coinheritance was found between the two variants of ERCC5. Moreover, the similarity between the MAF of the studied variants and the African or European population can guide future research when extrapolating data from African European populations to their Egyptian counterparts.
