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

We studied 23 pediatric high-grade astrocytomas by comparative genomic hybridization. Chromosomal imbalances were found in 10 of 10 anaplastic astrocytomas and 11 of 13 glioblastomas and consisted of +1q (43%), +3q (26%), +1p, +2q, +5q (22%), -22q (34%), -6q, -10q (30%), -9q, -11q, -13q, -16q, and -17p (22%). Anaplastic astrocytomas frequently showed +5q (40%), +1q (30%), -22q (50%), -6q, -9q (40%), and -12q (30%); glioblastomas +1q (54%), +3q (38%), +2q, +17q (23%), -6q, -8q, -10q, -13q, and -17p (31%). Minimal common regions mapped to +1q21-41, +3q27-qter, +2q31-32, +5q14-22, -22q12-qter, -10q23-25, -6q25-qter, -9q34.2, -11q14-22, -16q22-qter, and -17p. High-level gains were located on 1q (7 cases), 2q, 7q (4 cases), 3q (3 cases), 9, 17q (2 cases), 4q, 8q, 18, and 20q (1 case). A significantly shorter survival was found for anaplastic astrocytomas showing +1q (P: < 0.05), MIB-1 proliferation index >25% (P: < 0.001) and glioblastomas (P: < 0.05). Compared with adult cases, +1p, +2q, and +21q as well as -6q, -11q, and -16q were more frequent in pediatric malignant astrocytomas. Among the latter +5q, -6q, -9q, -12q, and -22q were characteristic for pediatric anaplastic astrocytomas and +1q, +3q, +16p, -8q, and -17p for pediatric glioblastomas. Our results show that chromosomal aberrations differ between pediatric anaplastic astrocytomas and glioblastomas as well as between pediatric and adult high-grade astrocytomas, supporting the notion of a different genetic pathway. Furthermore, gains of chromosomal material on 1q might be correlated with a worse prognosis in pediatric anaplastic astrocytomas.
