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

Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) enables exploration of the full spectrum of oncogenic processes that generate characteristic patterns of mutations. Mutational signatures provide clues to tumor etiology and highlight potentially targetable pathway defects. Here alongside single-base substitution, doublet-base substitution, small insertion and deletion and copy number aberration signatures previously covered by the Catalogue of Somatic Mutations in Cancer (COSMIC), we report signatures from an additional mutation type, structural variations (SVs), extracted de novo from WGS in 10,983 patients across 16 tumor types recruited to the 100,000 Genomes Project. Across the five mutation classes, we report 134 signatures, 26 of which are new to COSMIC, including an SV signature reference set. By relating signatures to genomic features and clinical phenotypes, we provide further insights into mutagenic processes and the application of signature analysis to precision oncology.
