Characterization of Incidental Pathogenic Germline Findings Detected via ctDNA among Patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer in a Predominantly Hispanic/Latinx Population.

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
Pathogenic germline variants (PGVs) may be under-detected as causative etiologies in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The prevalence of PGVs has been reported between 1 and 15% of patients, depending on the patient population. The rate within Hispanic/Latinx populations remains unknown. We retrospectively analyzed the genomic results (Guardant360, Redwood City, CA, USA) of 878 patients with advanced or metastatic NSCLC at five centers in South Florida, USA, from 2019 to 2022 to analyze the rate of incidental PGVs (iPGVs) identified via circulating cell-free tumor DNA (ctDNA). We then stratified the results by tumor histology, age, gender, race, ethnicity, genetic pathway, and co-mutations. Twenty-one iPGVs were identified (21/878 = 2.4%). Among the 21 iPGVs identified, 14 patients were female (66.7%) and 7 were male (33.3%), with a median age of 67 years and tobacco history of 2.5 pack-years. In total, 52.4% of patients identified as Hispanic/Latinx (
