Pathogenic genomic alterations in Chinese pancreatic cancer patients and their therapeutical implications.
Article in Cancer medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundApproximately 90% of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cases are driven by the untargetable non-G12C KRAS mutations, and only a small subset of patients are eligible for FDA-approved precision therapies. The practice of precision therapy in pancreatic cancer was limited by the paucity of targetable genetic alterations, especially in the Asian population.
methodsTo explore therapeutic targets in 499 Chinese PDAC patients, a deep sequencing panel (OncoPanscan™, Genetron health) was used to characterize somatic alterations including point mutations, indels, copy number alterations, gene fusions as well as pathogenic germline variants.
resultsWe performed genomic profiling in 499 Chinese PDAC patients, which revealed somatic driver mutations in KRAS, TP53, CDKN2A, SMAD4, ARID1A, RNF43, and pathogenic germline variants (PGVs) in cancer predisposition genes including BRCA2, PALB2, and ATM. Overall, 20.4% of patients had targetable genomic alterations. About 8.4% of patients carried inactivating germline and somatic variants in BRCA1/2 and PALB2, which were susceptible to platinum and PARP inhibitors therapy. Patients with KRAS wild-type disease and early-onset pancreatic cancer (EOPC) harbored actionable mutations including BRAF, EGFR, ERBB2, and MAP2K1/2. Compared to PGV-negative patients, PGV-positive patients were younger and more likely to have a family history of cancer. Furthermore, PGVs in PALB2, BRCA2, and ATM were associated with high PDAC risk in the Chinese population.
conclusionsOur results demonstrated that a genetic screen of actionable genomic variants could facilitate precision therapy and cancer risk reduction in pancreatic cancer patients of Asian ethnicity.
