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

introductionIn silico tools capable of predicting the functional consequences of genomic differences between individuals, many of which are AI-driven, have been the most effective over the past two decades for non-synonymous single nucleotide variants (nsSNVs). When appropriately selected for the purpose of the study, a high predictive performance can be expected. In this feasibility study, we investigate the distribution of nsSNVs with an allele frequency below 5%. To classify the putative functional consequence, a tier-based filtration led by AI-driven predictors and scoring system was implemented to the overall decision-making process, resulting in a list of prioritised genes.

methodsThe study has been conducted on breast cancer patients of homogeneous ethnicity. Germline rare variants have been sequenced in genes that influence pharmacokinetic parameters of anticancer drugs or molecular signalling pathways in cancer. After AI-driven functional pathogenicity classification and data mining in pharmacogenomic (PGx) databases, variants were collapsed to the gene level and ranked according to their putative deleterious role.

resultsIn breast cancer patients, seven of the twelve genes prioritised based on the predictions were found to be associated with response to oncotherapy, histological grade, and tumour subtype. Most importantly, we showed that the group of patients with at least one rare nsSNVs in cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) had significantly reduced disease-free (log rank, p = 0.002) and overall survival (log rank, p = 0.006).

conclusionAI-driven in silico analysis with PGx data mining provided an effective approach navigating for functional consequences across germline genetic background, which can be easily integrated into the overall decision-making process for future studies. The study revealed a statistically significant association with numerous clinicopathological parameters, including treatment response. Our study indicates that CFTR may be involved in the processes influencing the effectiveness of oncotherapy or in the malignant progression of the disease itself.
