Whole Exome Analysis to Select Targeted Therapies for Patients with Metastatic Breast Cancer - A Feasibility Study.

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
Introduction: The purpose of this feasibility study was to select targeted therapies according to "ESMO Scale for Clinical Actionability of molecular Targets (ESCAT)". Data interpretation was further supported by a browser-based Treatment Decision Support platform (MH Guide, Molecular Health, Heidelberg, Germany). Patients: We applied next generation sequencing based whole exome sequencing of tumor tissue and peripheral blood of patients with metastatic breast cancer (n = 44) to detect somatic as well as germline mutations. Results: In 32 metastatic breast cancer patients, data interpretation was feasible. We identified 25 genomic alterations with ESCAT Level of Evidence I or II in 18/32 metastatic breast cancer patients, which were available for evaluation: three copy number gains in Conclusions: Resulting treatment options were discussed in a tumor board and could be recommended in a small but relevant proportion of patients with metastatic breast cancer (7/18). Thus, this study is a valuable preliminary work for the establishment of a molecular tumor board within the German initiative "Center for Personalized Medicine" which aims to shorten time for analyses and optimize selection of targeted therapies.
