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

introductionDefects in the homologous recombination repair (HRR) pathway can include mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 (BRCAm) and other HRR genes (HRRm). These mutations are associated with a homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) phenotype. We evaluated testing journey and treatment patterns by BRCAm, HRRm, and HRD status in a real-world dataset.

methodsDeidentified data for patients who had undergone comprehensive genomic profiling using FoundationOne

resultsAmong 9457 patients included in the overall population with evaluable biomarker status, 7856 (83.1%) received ≥ 1 systemic therapy. Among the 7856 patients who received systemic therapy, 2324 (30.0%) underwent testing before first-line therapy, 4114 (52.4%) were tested after receiving first-line therapy and before receiving subsequent therapy (if any), 970 (12.3%) were tested after second-line therapy and before receiving subsequent therapy (if any), and 447 (5.7%) patients underwent testing after receiving third-line therapy. A higher proportion of patients with BRCAm, HRRm, or HRD-positive status were treated with poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors across all lines of therapy. There was no evidence of a meaningful difference in the proportion of patients who received other treatment (including chemotherapy and immunotherapy) by BRCAm, HRRm, or HRD status.

conclusionThe majority of patients from this real-world dataset underwent FoundationOne
