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

To identify critical tumor suppressor loci that are associated with the development of medulloblastoma, we performed a comprehensive genome-wide allelotype analysis in a series of 12 medulloblastomas. Non-random allelic imbalances were identified on chromosomes 7q (58.3%), 8p (66.7%), 16q (58.3%), 17p (58.3%) and 17q (66.7%). Comparative genomic hybridization analysis confirmed that allelic imbalances on 8p, 16q and 17p were due to loss of genetic materials. Finer deletion mapping in an expanded series of 23 medulloblastomas localized the common deletion region on 8p to an interval of 18.14 cM on 8p22-23.2. We then searched within the region of loss on 8p for loci that might contain homozygous deletion using comparative duplex PCR. An overlapping homozygous deletion region was identified in a 1.8 cM interval on 8p22-23.1, between markers D8S520 and D8S1130, in two medulloblastomas. This region of homozygous deletion also encompasses the 1.4 cM minimal deletion region detected on 8p in ductal carcinoma in situ of breast. In conclusion, we reported for the first time a detailed deletion mapping on 8p in medulloblastoma and have identified a region of homozygous deletion on 8p22-23.1 that is likely to contain a critical tumor suppressor gene involved in the development of medulloblastoma.
