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

Despite shared genetic driver alterations and histology, the genomic fidelity of most mouse tumor models, including those genetically engineered (GEMM), to their human counterparts is unknown. In this study, we developed MiMouse, a mouse comprehensive genomic profiling panel for high-throughput credentialing applicable to routine formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tumors. Through simulation/validation, we focused on considerations for cross-species mutation prioritization, strain determination, and aneuploidy detection. Using MiMouse, we profiled >250 tumors from high-grade serous carcinoma GEMMs based on conditional inactivation of Brca1 (B), Trp53 (P), Pten (Pt), Rb1 (R), and/or Nf1 (N) and a colorectal carcinoma GEMM based on conditional inactivation of Apc, Kras, and/or P. We confirmed increased genomic instability in high-grade serous carcinoma tumors, with BPPt cancers having both the shortest latency and the least genomic instability. In colorectal cancer, focusing on fidelity to human colorectal cancer aneuploidy events, our results highlighted the critical importance of synteny in transgenic studies, as not only was loss of mouse chromosome 18 (containing the tumor suppressor gene Smad4) a significant aneuploidy event (18%), additional tumors harbored focal Smad4 copy loss, potentially due to the mouse-specific proximity of Apc (mouse and human chromosomes 18 and 5, respectively). Likewise, mouse chromosome 5, the only significantly gained (46%) chromosome in our colorectal cancer models, has syntenic blocks from human chromosomes 7p, 7q, and 13q, including Cdx2, which is both a lineage-specific colorectal cancer oncogene and the colorectal cancer GEMM promoter source. Given the importance of mice to translational cancer research, this study highlights the considerations and utility of approaches for comprehensive genomic credentialing. SIGNIFICANCE: The genomic fidelity of most mouse tumor models is unknown. Considering cross-species issues, we develop MiMouse for high-throughput genomic credentialing and profile >250 tumors from fallopian tube and colorectal tumor models.
