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

introductionAtypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumours (AT/RT) are highly malignant embryonal tumours of the brain composed of rhabdoid cells. Inactivating mutations of the hSNF5/INI-1 gene located in the chromosomal region 22q11.2 are regarded as a crucial step in their molecular pathogenesis. Apart from monosomy or deletions of chromosome 22 not much data exists on additional chromosomal aberrations.

methodsWe investigated seven primary AT/RT by comparative genomic hybridisation (CGH) and found DNA copy number changes in each case.

resultsThese consisted of loss of 22q in 7 out of 7 (100%) and loss of 19 in 3 out of 7 (43%) patients. In 4/7 AT/RT (57%), loss of chromosome 22q was the sole aberration whereas one patient showed additional losses of 16p, 17p and 20q.

conclusionsOur CGH data suggest that apart from monosomy 22 additional genetic pathways may seem feasible for a subset of AT/RT that is yet to be defined. Furthermore, this study also emphasises the potential practical value of loss of chromosome 22 as a diagnostic marker for AT/RT.
