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

Transplant recipients are at a heightened risk of cancer, yet the full spectrum of etiologic factors is poorly understood. In this study, we analysed the mutational patterns in a clinically diverse cohort of 41,874 cancers and identified a mutational signature highly associated with a history of solid organ or allogeneic stem cell transplantation. This signature is characterized by a high tumor mutation burden and a striking predominance of C>A single base substitutions, particularly in the 5'-C[C>A]A-3' trinucleotide context. We identified 13 transplant recipients whose tumors harbored this signature, which is distinct from previously described mutational processes, including those related to tobacco, defective DNA repair, or polymerase mutations. The discovery of this signature points to a mutagenic force in this vulnerable patient group and provides new insights into the pathogenesis of transplant-associated malignancies.
