Prevalence and prognosis of hypoxia-inducible factor-2α (HIF-2α) pathway gene mutations across advanced solid tumors.

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
introductionHypoxia-inducible factor-2α (HIF-2α) modulates the hypoxic response pathway in tumors; however, mutations in pathways (including SDHA, SDHB, SDHC, SDHD, FH, and VHL genes) that are suspected to activate HIF-2α are poorly understood, with limited understanding of the prevalence and clinical prognosis.
methodsThis retrospective observational study used a de-identified nationwide (US-based) clinico-genomic database (CGDB) across 15 available tumor types.
resultsAmong the 9467 adult patients with advanced/metastatic solid tumors included in the analysis, any mutation at the above-mentioned six genes was observed in 1.8% (95% CI: 1.5-2.1) of patients. The mutation prevalence ranged from 0.05% of SDHD to 0.93% of VHL. When further stratified by tumor type, the prevalence of gene mutation in each tumor type was well below 1%, except for VHL with 44% in renal cell carcinomas (RCC). Excluding RCC, the prevalence of any HIF-2α gene mutations in the study population was 0.9% (95% CI: 0.8-1.2). The median overall survival (OS) from 1 and 2 L therapy among patients with any HIF-2α gene mutation was 14.5 (95% CI: 11.5-24.2) and 9.3 (95% CI: 6.0-18.1) months, respectively, compared with 13.4 (95% CI: 12.9-13.9) and 9.8 (95% CI: 9.3-10.4) months among patients without HIF-2α gene mutations. DISCUSSION AND
conclusionsThe prevalence of HIF-2α related gene mutations was generally low (<1%) across the 15 solid tumor types, except for VHL in RCC. No significant association between HIF-2α gene mutation status and OS was identified among patients evaluated in this study.
