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

purposePoly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) have shown promising clinical results in the treatment of ovarian cancer. Analysis of biomarker subgroups consistently revealed higher benefits for patients with homologous recombination deficiency (HRD). The test that is most often used for the detection of HRD in clinical studies is the Myriad myChoice assay. However, other assays can also be used to assess biomarkers, which are indicative of HRD, genomic instability (GI), and

methodsDNA from HGSOC samples was extracted from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue blocks of cases previously run with the Myriad myChoice assay, and GI was measured by multiple molecular assays (CytoSNP, AmoyDx, Illumina TSO500 HRD, OncoScan, NOGGO GISv1, QIAseq HRD Panel and whole genome sequencing), applying different bioinformatics algorithms.

resultsApplication of different assays to assess GI, including Myriad myChoice, revealed high concordance of the generated scores ranging from very substantial to nearly perfect fit, depending on the assay and bioinformatics pipelines applied. Interlaboratory comparison of assays also showed high concordance of GI scores.

conclusionAssays for GI assessment not only show a high concordance with each other but also in correlation with Myriad myChoice. Thus, almost all of the assays included here can be used effectively to assess HRD-associated GI in the clinical setting. This is important as PARPi treatment on the basis of these tests is compliant with European Medicines Agency approvals, which are methodologically not test-bound.
