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

Tumor mutational burden (TMB) is a biomarker that predicts response to immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy. We currently lack a comprehensive understanding of how genomic and clinical factors correlate with TMB. We used a clinicogenomic database to assess independent predictors of TMB levels. The study included 2740 prostate cancer specimens from prostate gland (51.6%), lymph nodes (14.6%), and bone (10.4%). Androgen deprivation therapy use beyond 24 mo was weakly associated with high TMB (fold-change estimate [FCE] 1.14, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.03-1.26; Patient summary: The number of genetic mutations in a tumor (tumor mutational burden, TMB) may help in predicting a patient's response to immunotherapy in advanced prostate cancer. We evaluated clinical and genetic factors that may affect TMB. We found that metastases in the bladder and liver are more likely to have high TMB than the primary tumor. Some individual genes are associated with high TMB. No prior treatment type was strongly associated with TMB, suggesting that TMB can be used to guide treatment at any time point.These data were presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology 2023 Genitourinary Cancers Symposium.
