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

In this study, we report the clinicopathologic and genomic profiles of 891 patients with RET fusion driven advanced solid tumors. All patient samples were tested using a tissue-based DNA hybrid capture next generation sequencing (NGS) assay and a subset of the samples were liquid biopsies tested using a liquid-based hybrid capture NGS assay. RET fusions were found in 523 patients with NSCLC and in 368 patients with other solid tumors. The two tumor types with the highest number of RET fusion were lung adenocarcinoma and thyroid papillary carcinoma, and they had a prevalence rate 1.14% (455/39,922) and 9.09% (109/1199), respectively. A total of 61 novel fusions were discovered in this pan-tumor cohort. The concordance of RET fusion detection across tumor types among tissue and liquid-based NGS was 100% (8/8) in patients with greater than 1% composite tumor fraction (cTF). Herein, we present the clinicopathologic and genomic landscape of a large cohort of RET fusion positive tumors and we observed that liquid biopsy-based NGS is highly sensitive for RET fusions at cTF ≥1%.
