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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesAneuploidy is near-ubiquitous in cancer and can decrease chemotherapy efficacy while also sensitizing cells to other drugs.

methodsTo systematically identify treatment strategies that target aneuploid cancers, data were integrated from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA; 10,967 samples, 16,948 aneuploidy events) and the Broad Institute's Profiling Relative Inhibition Simultaneously in Mixtures (PRISM) screen of 578 cancer cell lines and 4518 compounds.

resultsOur analyses uncovered 37,720 significant positive and negative associations linking specific aneuploidies and treatments with patient prognosis or cell viability. Within TCGA data, 22 treatments correlated with improved 5-year survival for specific aneuploid cancers, whereas 46 were linked to worse outcomes. A complementary analysis of PRISM identified 17,946 compound-aneuploidy associations and 16,189 mechanism of action (MOA)-aneuploidy associations. Pathway-altering compounds that selectively reduce viability in cells with aneuploidy profiles were discovered, including an unexpectedly prominent number of glucocorticoid receptor agonists.

conclusionsThis integrated dataset provides a resource for designing therapeutic decision hypotheses, identifying drug-repurposing opportunities, and informing future studies aimed at targeting aneuploidy-induced vulnerabilities in cancer.
