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

purposeTo determine the cancer risk and spectrum in patients with multilineage mosaic RASopathies with pathogenic variants (PV) in HRAS or KRAS. EXPERIMENTAL

designWe conducted a systematic literature review to identify multilineage mosaic RASopathy cases with a PV in HRAS or KRAS to create a retrospective cohort. We calculated cumulative incidence, cancer-free survival, and hazard rates for cancer and standardized incidence rates (SIR).

resultsThis study identified 69 patients. Of these, 17% had cancer, including rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) located in the urogenital region (n = 7), skin cancer (n = 3), Wilms tumor (n = 1), and bladder cancer (n = 1). Cumulative cancer incidence by age 20 was 20% (95% confidence interval, 4%-37%). The annual cancer hazard rate peaked at 14% within the first 2 years of life. The highest SIR was found for RMS (SIR = 800; 95% confidence interval, 300-1648).

conclusionsThis is the first investigation of cancer risk in KRAS or HRAS PV-positive mosaic RASopathies to date. The high incidence and SIR values found highlight the need for rigorous RMS surveillance in young children and skin cancer surveillance in adults with this high-risk condition.
