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

In the era of precision oncology, comprehensive molecular profiling is critical for guiding targeted and immunotherapy strategies. This study presents the analytical and clinical validation of a 1021-gene next-generation sequencing (NGS) panel, designed for use with both formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue- and liquid-biopsy specimens. Analytical validation confirmed the assay's high sensitivity and specificity across variant types-including SNVs (Single Nucleotide Variations), indels, CNVs (Copy Number Variations), and fusions-down to a 0.5% variant allele frequency. The assay also accurately identified microsatellite instability (MSI) and tumor mutational burden (TMB), essential biomarkers for immunotherapy. Clinical validation was performed on over 1300 solid tumor samples from diverse histologies, revealing actionable alterations in over 50% of cases. The panel detected on-label treatment biomarkers in 12.57% of patients, increasing to 20.15% when immunotherapy markers were included. Additionally, the assay demonstrated strong concordance with orthogonal methods and was effective in detecting variants in plasma-derived circulating tumor DNA in 70% of evaluable cases. These findings support the robust performance and broad clinical applicability of the 1021-gene panel for comprehensive genomic profiling in both tissue and liquid biopsies, offering a valuable tool for personalized cancer treatment.
