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

purposeOncologists encounter patients with pathogenic variants (PVs) in

methodsPatients who were 20 years or older, diagnosed in 2013-2019 with breast, colorectal, or pancreatic cancer, and reported to SEER registries in California and Georgia were linked to germline genetic testing results from four clinical laboratories and followed through 2021. Multivariable models of cancer mortality were fit; for each cancer, the reference group was the average hazard across all genetically tested patients with that diagnosis. Each cancer was modeled separately, followed by a single model that interacted the cancer type with all covariates. In addition to fixed effects models, random effects models were used as a regularization approach to reduce overfitting.

resultsA total of 70,272 tested patients with breast (48,473 estrogen receptor-/progesterone receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative; 9,957 HER2-positive; 11,842 triple-negative) cancer, 5,822 with colorectal cancer, and 1,861 with pancreatic cancer were analyzed; the mean follow-up was 3.9 years.
