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

purposeRhabdomyosarcoma (RMS), which is the most common pediatric soft tissue sarcoma, is classified into two major histologic subtypes, embryonal RMS (ERMS) and alveolar RMS (ARMS). RMS is occasionally reported to be the second neoplasm of hereditary retinoblastoma. Osteosarcoma is known as the most common second neoplasm of hereditary retinoblastoma, and tumorigenesis of osteosarcoma has been proven in previous studies to be related to the RB gene (RB1) alteration. Therefore, there might be a correlation between the tumorigenesis of RMS and RB1 alteration.

methodsWe examined the RB protein (pRB) expression and RB1 alteration such as allelic imbalance (gain or loss) and homozygous deletion, using immunohistochemistry, microsatellite makers, and quantitative real-time PCR in 57 sporadic RMS.

resultsAllelic imbalance was more frequently detected in ERMS (13/27), than in ARMS (3/20) (P = 0.04). Homozygous deletion on the protein-binding pocket domain of RB1 was found in 6 of 27 ERMS and in 2 of 20 ARMS (P = 0.24). Furthermore, immunohistochemical pRB labeling indexes (LI) in 31 ERMS (median value, 31%) were significantly reduced in comparison with those observed in 26 ARMS (median value, 85%) (P < 0.0001).

conclusionsOur results support the assertion that tumorigenesis of RMS may be associated with RB1 alteration especially in ERMS, as previously reported for osteosarcoma. As for the RB pathway, each subtype of RMS may have a different tumorigenesis. In addition, immunohistochemical pRB LI may have the potential to be a useful ancillary tool in the differential diagnosis of RMS subtypes.
