Genomic Profiling of Extensive Stage Small-Cell Lung Cancer Patients Identifies Molecular Factors Associated with Survival.

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
Objective: Extensive stage Small-Cell Lung Cancer (ES-SCLC) is the most lethal lung cancer, and the addition of immunotherapy conferred a slight survival benefit for patients. Extensive molecular profiling of patients treated with chemotherapy (CT) or chemotherapy plus immunotherapy (CT+IO) would be able to identify molecular factors associated with patients' survival. Material and Methods: In this retrospective study, 99 ES-SCLC patients were considered. Of the 79 includible patients, 42 received CT (median age 71 y/o, I-IIIQ: 65-76), and 37 received CT+IO (median age 71 y/o, I-IIIQ 66-75). The FoundationOne CDx assay was performed on patients' tumor tissues. Results: The most mutated genes were Conclusion: In ES-SCLC, TMB is associated with worse survival in patients treated with CT alone, and with better survival in patients treated with CT+IO, whether considered as a continuous or a dichotomized variable, at different cut-offs. Alterations in epigenetic factors are also associated to better patient prognosis.
