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

BACKGROUND/

aimIn breast cancer, knowledge of the associations between clinicopathologic characteristics, genetic changes, and subtype-specific patterns is expanding. This study investigated how pathological and clinical variables affect the actionability of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS)-based tumor molecular data. MATERIALS AND

methods227 breast cancer patients referred to Genekor's laboratory for tumor molecular profile analysis were included in the study. Pathology records were used to assess critical clinicopathological features, including HER2, ER, PR, Ki67, grade, metastatic site, and age. A 1021-gene NGS-based multigene panel was utilized to assess tumor biology alongside tumor mutational burden (TMB) and microsatellite instability (MSI).

resultsComprehensive genomic profiling revealed that 95.6% of the patients harbored at least one oncogenic or likely oncogenic alteration, highlighting the high diagnostic yield of NGS-based testing. Distinct subtype-specific patterns were observed: HR+/HER2- tumors were enriched for

conclusionComprehensive NGS-based genomic profiling identifies clinically actionable alterations in over half of breast cancer patients, with substantial variability across molecular subtypes. The HR+/HER2- subtype demonstrates the highest prevalence of on-label actionable biomarkers. These findings support the routine implementation of comprehensive genomic profiling, especially in metastatic HER2-negative breast cancer, to guide precision oncology strategies and enable enrollment in biomarker-driven clinical trials.
