Tumor cell enrichment by tissue suspension improves sensitivity to copy number variation in diffuse gastric cancer with low tumor content.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The detection of copy number variations (CNVs) and somatic mutations in cancer is important for the selection of specific drugs for patients with cancer. In cancers with sporadic tumor cells, low tumor content prevents the accurate detection of somatic alterations using targeted sequencing. To efficiently identify CNVs, we performed tumor cell enrichment using tissue suspensions of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue sections with low tumor cell content. Tumor-enriched and residual fractions were separated from FFPE tissue suspensions of intestinal and diffuse-type gastric cancers containing sporadic tumor cells, and targeted sequencing was performed on 225 cancer-related genes. Sequencing of a targeted panel of cancer-related genes using tumor-enriched fractions increased the number of detectable CNVs and the copy number of amplified genes. Furthermore, CNV analysis using the normal cell-enriched residual fraction as a reference for CNV scoring allowed targeted sequencing to detect CNV characteristics of diffuse-type gastric cancer with low tumor content. Our approach improves the CNV detection rate in targeted sequencing with tumor enrichment and the accuracy of CNV detection in archival samples without paired blood.
