Genomic landscape and comparative analysis of tissue and liquid-based NGS in Taiwanese anaplastic thyroid carcinoma.
Article in NPJ precision oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) is an aggressive cancer that requirements rapid diagnosis and multimodal treatment. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) aids in personalized therapies and improved trial enrollment. The role of liquid-based NGS in ATC remains unclear. This study analyzed ATC samples using tissue-based NGS, liquid-based NGS, or both platforms. Genetic alterations showed highly heterogeneity, including mutations in RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK, PI3K/AKT/mTOR, cell cycle regulation, other receptor tyrosine kinases, DNA damage response, mismatch repair, and chromatin remodeling. TP53 (65.4%) and BRAF (30.8%) were the most frequently mutated genes in tissue NGS. In paired samples, the concordance rates were 69.2% for TP53 and 84.6% for BRAF. One of two patients treated with dabrafenib and trametinib showed a copy number gain in post-treatment tissue NGS, potentially indicating resistance. Liquid biopsy provides valuable supplementary information when tissue samples are insufficient. Further studies are necessary to understand resistance mechanisms and develop strategies to overcome them in BRAF-targeted therapy.
