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

Homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) causes faulty double-strand break repair and is a prevalent cause of tumorigenesis. However, the incidence of HRD and its clinical significance in pan-cancer patients remain unknown. Using computational analysis of Single-nucleotide polymorphism array data from 10,619 cancer patients, we demonstrate that HRD frequently occurs across multiple cancer types. Analysis of the pan-cancer cohort revealed that HRD is not only a biomarker for ovarian cancer and triple-negative breast cancer, but also has clinical prognostic value in numerous cancer types, including adrenocortical cancer and thymoma. We discovered that homologous recombination-related genes have a high mutation or deletion frequency. Pathway analysis shows HRD is positively correlated with the DNA damage response and the immune-related signaling pathways. Single cell RNA sequencing of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes reveals a significantly higher proportion of exhausted T cells in HRD patients, indicating pre-existing immunity. Finally, HRD could be utilized to predict pan-cancer patients' responses to Programmed cell death protein 1 immunotherapy. In summary, our work establishes a comprehensive map of HRD in pan-cancer. The findings have significant implications for expanding the scope of Poly ADP-ribose polymerase inhibitor therapy and, possibly, immunotherapy.
