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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesMutations in

methodsWe used deidentified data from the AACR GENIE Biopharma Collaborative dataset derived from patients with tumors genotyped using next-generation sequencing between 1 January 2014 and 31 December 2017. Eligible patients were aged ≥18 years diagnosed with non-small-cell lung, colorectal, breast, bladder, prostate, or pancreatic cancer, with documented BRCA/HRR somatic mutation status. The primary analysis was OS (censored at the start of poly[ADP ribose] polymerase inhibitors [PARPi]/immunotherapy) after initiation of second-line therapy since most patients had sequencing after first-line therapy.

resultsAmong eligible patients, 242/7022 (3.4%) had BRCAm and 477/5474 (8.7%) had HRRm. Adjusted OS HRs (95% CI) for the primary analysis (using the initiation of second-line therapy as index date) were 0.79 (0.61-1.03) with/without BRCAm (n = 116/n = 3394) and 0.83 (0.69-0.99) with/without HRRm (n = 247/n = 2656); in sensitivity analysis of patients with stage IV disease, HRs were 0.97 (0.68-1.38) with/without BRCAm (n = 58/n = 1847) and 0.92 (0.73-1.18) with/without HRRm (n = 132/n = 1488).

conclusionsOverall, BRCAm and HRRm did not show a strong association with OS, with a trend toward longer OS among patients receiving standard second-line therapies excluding PARPi/immunotherapy.
