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

backgroundClonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) is an age-related condition associated with increased mortality among patients with cancer. CHIP mutations with high variant-allele frequencies can be detected in tumors, a phenomenon we term tumor-infiltrating clonal hematopoiesis (TI-CH). The frequency of TI-CH and its effect on tumor evolution are unclear.

methodsWe characterized CHIP and TI-CH in 421 patients with early-stage non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) from the TRACERx study and in 49,351 patients from the MSK-IMPACT pan-cancer cohort. We studied the association of TI-CH with survival and disease recurrence and evaluated the functional effect of

resultsAmong patients with NSCLC, 42% of those with CHIP had TI-CH. TI-CH independently predicted an increased risk of death or recurrence, with an adjusted hazard ratio of 1.80 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.23 to 2.63) as compared with the absence of CHIP and an adjusted hazard ratio of 1.62 (95% CI, 1.02 to 2.56) as compared with CHIP in the absence of TI-CH. Among patients with solid tumors, 26% of those with CHIP had TI-CH. TI-CH conferred a risk of death from any cause that was 1.17 times (95% CI, 1.06 to 1.29) as high as the risk with CHIP in the absence of TI-CH.

conclusionsTI-CH increased the risk of disease recurrence or death among patients with NSCLC and the risk of death from any cause among patients with solid tumors. TI-CH remodeled the tumor immune microenvironment and accelerated tumor organoid growth, findings that support a role for an aging-related hematologic clonal proliferation in cancer evolution.
