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

This study examined the relationship between homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) and variations in non-BRCA1/2 homologous recombination repair (HRR) genes. 27.3% (132/483) of the patients with ovarian, breast, endometrial, prostate, and pancreatic cancers carrying non-BRCA1/2 HRR variations were HRD + . Germline mutations were associated with significantly higher HRD+ rates than somatic mutations, while biallelic alterations did not show stronger associations with HRD compared to monoallelic alterations. High HRD+ rates (66.7-100.0%) were associated with variations in PALB2, RAD51C/D, and RAD54L, while low HRD+ rates (0-37.5%) corresponded with variations in PTEN, ATM, BRIP1, CDK12, and NBN, which may be influenced by variation grade and tissue origin. HRD positivity was mutually exclusive with HER2+ status in breast cancer and with TMB-H/MSI-H in endometrial cancer. Overall, these findings highlight the different strengths of the correlation between non-BRCA1/2 HRR gene variations and HRD and guide HRD testing in cases of "BRCA1/2-wildtype" results.
