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

Background: Homologous recombination repair (HRR) is the main mechanism of repair of DNA double-strand breaks. Its deficiency (HRD) is a common feature of epithelial ovarian cancers (EOCs). BRCA1/2 mutations and/or other aberrations in genes of HRR are well known causes of HRD and genomic instability. Poly ADP-ribose polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) have revolutionized the management of BRCA mutant EOCs and demonstrated activity in HRD tumor cells. Determining HRD status can provide informations on the magnitude of benefit for PARPi therapy. Myriad MyChoice CDx is a next generation sequencing- based in vitro diagnostic test that assesses the Genomic Instability Score (GIS) which is an algorithmic measurement of loss of heterozygosity, telomeric allelic imbalance, and large-scale state transitions using DNA isolated from formalin-fixed paraffin embedded tumor tissue specimens. However Myriad MyChoice CDx, is a centrally performed and costly assay, with no reimbursement scheduled, at least in Italy. Methods: In this report, we described our experience in performing the HRD Focus AmoyDx (Amoy Diagnostics Ltd, Xiamen, Fujian, China) on the same samples of EOCs evaluated with Myriad MyChoiceCDx assay. Results: The overall percent agreement between AmoyDx and Myriad was 87.8% (65 of 74 tumors tested). All the 36 AmoyDx negative cases were confirmed to be negative by Myriad (negative predictive value, 100%). Conclusions: The concordance of the results with the gold standard Myriad MyChoice CDx assay suggest the feasibility and reliability of HRD testing in diagnostic laboratories with high-throughput NGS platforms and qualified personnel.
