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

Comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) via next-generation sequencing is standard clinical practice for advanced and metastatic cancers in the U.S. and can help identify clinically actionable alterations in patients who may benefit from targeted therapies. CGP can also complement clinicopathological findings and in certain cases, may lead to diagnostic recharacterization resulting in more precise therapeutic strategies. Here, we highlight examples where molecular findings resulted in tumor re-evaluation and subsequent recharacterization. Twenty-eight cases where CGP results were inconsistent with initial pathological diagnosis and clinical presentation were selected for secondary clinicopathological review to explore alternative diagnostic explanations more consistent with the genomic results. Genomic profiling identified clinically actionable and prognostic variants leading to more accurate therapeutic recommendations based on the updated diagnoses highlighting the value of CGP beyond biomarker detection for therapy selection and supporting its complementary use in diagnostic confirmation to unveil opportunities for precision medicine strategies.
