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

backgroundIdentification of driver mutations and development of targeted therapies has considerably improved outcomes for lung cancer patients. However, significant limitations remain with the lack of identified drivers in a large subset of patients. Here, we aimed to assess the genomic landscape of lung adenocarcinomas (LUADs) from individuals without a history of tobacco use to reveal new genetic drivers of lung cancer.

methodsIntegrative genomic analyses combining whole-exome sequencing, copy number, and mutational information for 83 LUAD tumors was performed and validated using external datasets to identify genetic variants with a predicted functional consequence and assess association with clinical outcomes. LUAD cell lines with alteration of identified candidates were used to functionally characterize tumor suppressive potential using a conditional expression system both in vitro and in vivo.

resultsWe identified 21 genes with evidence of positive selection, including 12 novel candidates that have yet to be characterized in LUAD. In particular, SNF2 Histone Linker PHD RING Helicase (SHPRH) was identified due to its frequency of biallelic disruption and location within the familial susceptibility locus on chromosome arm 6q. We found that low SHPRH mRNA expression is associated with poor survival outcomes in LUAD patients. Furthermore, we showed that re-expression of SHPRH in LUAD cell lines with inactivating alterations for SHPRH reduces their in vitro colony formation and tumor burden in vivo. Finally, we explored the biological pathways associated SHPRH inactivation and found an association with the tolerance of LUAD cells to DNA damage.

conclusionsThese data suggest that SHPRH is a tumor suppressor gene in LUAD, whereby its expression is associated with more favorable patient outcomes, reduced tumor and mutational burden, and may serve as a predictor of response to DNA damage. Thus, further exploration into the role of SHPRH in LUAD development may make it a valuable biomarker for predicting LUAD risk and prognosis.
