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

purposeThe Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) classifies gastric cancer (GC) into four molecular subtypes: Epstein-Barr virus-positive, microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H), genomically stable (GS), and chromosomal instability (CIN). This exploratory analysis compared the genomic landscape of late-stage GC from KEYNOTE-059, KEYNOTE-061, and KEYNOTE-062 studies with early-stage GC from TCGA and evaluated the genomic characteristics of late-stage GC in patients of Western and Asian origin. MATERIALS AND

methodsUsing pretreatment tumor samples, bulk DNA was analyzed via whole-exome sequencing (WES; KEYNOTE-059/KEYNOTE-061) and FoundationOneCDx (KEYNOTE-062) to determine TCGA-defined molecular subtypes (only MSI-H is determinable from FoundationOneCDx), genomic alterations, homologous recombination deficiency (HRD), and tumor mutational burden (TMB); gene expression signatures were analyzed using RNA sequencing.

resultsWhen comparing KEYNOTE-059/061/062 combined WES and FoundationOneCDx data with data from TCGA, the MSI-H subtype prevalence was numerically lower in patients of Western (5%

conclusionNumerical differences in the prevalence of MSI-H and GS subtypes were observed between early-stage and late-stage GC. Genomic characteristics of late-stage GC were generally similar between patients of Western and Asian origin.
