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

Evaluating the effectiveness of cancer treatments in relation to specific tumor mutations is essential for improving patient outcomes and advancing the field of precision medicine. Here we represent a comprehensive analysis of 78,287 U.S. cancer patients with detailed somatic mutation profiling integrated with treatment and outcomes data extracted from electronic health records. We systematically identified 776 genomic alterations associated with survival outcomes across 20 distinct cancer types treated with specific immunotherapies, chemotherapies, or targeted therapies. Additionally, we demonstrate how mutations in particular pathways correlate with treatment response. Leveraging the large number of identified predictive mutations, we developed a machine learning model to generate a risk score for response to immunotherapy in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (aNSCLC). Through rigorous computational analysis of large-scale clinico-genomic real-world data, this research provides insights and lays the groundwork for further advancements in precision oncology.
