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

Objective: Patients with homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) demonstrate distinct clinicopathological and prognostic features. However, standardised and clinically validated HRD detection methodologies specifically tailored for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have yet to be established. Further research is needed to clarify the precise role and clinical implications of HRD in NSCLC. Methods: A cohort of 580 treatment-naïve NSCLC patients was retrospectively enrolled. Comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) was performed for all patients, and HRD status was evaluated using two genomic scar score (GSS)-based algorithms: a machine learning-based GSS (ML-GSS) and a continuous linear regression-based GSS (CLR-GSS). To assess the diagnostic performance (sensitivity and specificity) of the ML-GSS and CLR-GSS algorithms for HRD detection, immunohistochemical (IHC) staining was conducted for two HRD-related biomarkers: Schlafen 11 (SLFN11) and RAD51. Survival analysis, including progression-free survival (PFS), along with multivariable Cox proportional hazards models, was performed to compare the prognostic value of the two HRD algorithms. Results: Among all patients, 146 (25.2%) and 46 (7.9%) were classified as HRD-positive (HRD+) by ML-GSS and CLR-GSS, respectively. Using SLFN11 IHC expression as the reference standard, comparative analysis demonstrated that ML-GSS exhibited significantly higher sensitivity but lower specificity than CLR-GSS. This trend was consistently observed in RAD51 staining analysis. Compared to HRD-negative (HRD-) patients, ML-GSS-defined HRD+ cases displayed distinct clinicopathological and genomic features, including a higher prevalence of homologous recombination (HR)-related genes mutations, Conclusions: ML-GSS demonstrated superior performance to CLR-GSS in assessing chromosomal instability (CIN) and showed greater clinical utility. We recommend the ML-GSS algorithm as a robust and clinically validated tool for HRD/CIN evaluation in NSCLC. Furthermore, ML-GSS-defined HRD+ status was identified as both a significant predictor and an independent risk factor.
