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

Advancements in next-generation sequencing have facilitated tumour-agnostic approaches for cancer therapy. Here, we demonstrate the clinical utility of molecularly guided tumour-agnostic precision medicine in an Asian cohort, leveraging an Asian-centric DNA/RNA comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) panel. A total of 1166 tissue samples encompassing 29 cancer types underwent real-world CGP testing. Actionable biomarkers were identified in 62.3% of samples, including 1291 (4.7%) somatic variants potentially targetable by regulatory-approved therapies. At least one tumour-agnostic biomarker, including high tumour mutation burden (TMB-high), microsatellite instability (MSI-high), NTRK/RET fusions, and BRAF V600E was identified in 98 samples across 26 cancer types (8.4%). ERBB2 amplification was identified in 42 samples (3.6%) and was most frequently detected in breast (15.0%), followed by endometrial (11.8%) and ovarian tumours (8.9%). Homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) was observed in 407 samples (34.9%). The high prevalence of actionable biomarkers underscores the significance of CGP in facilitating precision medicine in an Asian setting.
