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

introductionOvarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) has distinct clinical and molecular features and heterogeneous prognosis. Insights into the somatic genomic abnormalities of OCCC provide the basis for deeper understanding and potential therapeutic avenues. Herein, we performed extensive genomic profiling in Chinese patients to illustrate the mutation landscape and genetic prognostic biomarkers of OCCC. PATIENTS AND

methodsWe used targeted DNA sequencing on 61 OCCC cases with a panel of 520 cancer-related genes. Correlations between clinicopathological features and survival were evaluated. Nomogram-based models were constructed to predict progress-free survival (PFS).

resultsWe detected 763 somatic mutations spanning 286 genes. The most frequent genetic alterations, ARID1A (49%) and PIK3CA (48%), were concurrently mutated. Comprehensive copy number alterations (CNAs) were identified in chromosomes 20q13.2 and 8q. Most (73.7%) patients harboured potentially targetable driver mutations. The mean and median tumour mutational burden were 7.0 and 3.0 mutations/Mb, respectively. Microsatellite instability (high) was identified in 8.2% of patients. Mutation of the base-excision repair pathway was significantly higher in patients of stage II/III/IV. ATM mutation was associated with platinum sensitivity (

conclusionsWe described somatic genomic alterations in Chinese OCCC patients and observed different genomic alterations between stage I and stage II/III/IV tumours. Genetic factors may supplement clinical factors in nomogram modelling for PFS prediction.Key MessagesWe performed extensive genomic profiling in a well-annotated cohort of 61 Chinese ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) patients.PIK3CA mutations were associated with worse overall survival (OS) in stage I OCCC, and SWI/SNF gene mutations were associated with improved OS in stage II/III/IV disease.We propose an easy-to-use nomogram using clinical factors (tumour stage and residual disease) and genetic alterations (SWI/SNF complex mutations, ATM mutations and chr8q CNAs) to predict the progress-free survival (PFS) of OCCC.
