Personalized medicine with germline pathogenic variants: Importance of population- and region-wide evidence.
Review in Cancer science, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Rare germline pathogenic variants in cancer-predisposing genes have a high impact and potential for clinical utility. In the last 30 years, based on evidence of cancer risk associated with germline pathogenic variants, several measures have been suggested for personalized medicine, including the development of novel treatments, treatment stratification, risk reduction by surgical measures, chemoprevention, removal of environmental factors, and surveillance for early detection among specific high-risk individuals. However, this evidence is mainly based on evaluations of European populations. Our large-scale analyses of more than 100,000 individuals, including 14 disease cases and non-cancer controls in the Japanese population, suggest some discrepancies in the associations between cancer-predisposing genes and diseases, expansion of the targeted diseases of BRCA1 and BRCA2, and a potential novel risk-reduction measure for gastric cancer. They are likely to be explained by population and region variations; therefore, more population-wide and region-wide research could provide improved personalized medicine as well as a better understanding of disease mechanisms. This review summarizes current personalized medicine and discusses the potential use of germline pathogenic variants.
