Gastric cancer genomics study using reference human pangenomes.
Article in Life science alliance, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
A pangenome is the sum of the genetic information of all individuals in a species or a population. Genomics research has been gradually shifted to a paradigm using a pangenome as the reference. However, in disease genomics study, pangenome-based analysis is still in its infancy. In this study, we introduced a graph-based pangenome GGCPan from 185 patients with gastric cancer. We then systematically compared the cancer genomics study results using GGCPan, a linear pangenome GCPan, and the human reference genome as the reference. For small variant detection and microsatellite instability status identification, there is little difference in using three different genomes. Using GGCPan as the reference had a significant advantage in structural variant identification. A total of 24 candidate gastric cancer driver genes were detected using three different reference genomes, of which eight were common and five were detected only based on pangenomes. Our results showed that disease-specific pangenome as a reference is promising and a whole set of tools are still to be developed or improved for disease genomics study in the pangenome era.
