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

Cytogenetic analysis is a powerful tool for predicting recurrence in meningiomas, even among histologically benign/grade I tumors. Despite this, no study has been reported in which the impact of tumor cytogenetics on the gene expression profiles (GEP) has been analyzed in meningiomas. Here, we analyzed the GEP of 47 tumors and correlated them with the most clinical relevant cytogenetic subgroups of meningiomas, as confirmed through the analysis of 172 patients. Additionally three normal meningeal samples were also studied. Overall, our results show a clear association between the clinically relevant cytogenetic subgroups of meningiomas including diploid tumors (n = 18), isolated -22/22q- (n = 12), del(1p36) alone (n = 4) and complex karyotypes associated with del(1p36) and/or -14q (n = 13) and their GEP. Accordingly, based on the expression of 85 genes (40 of which were coded in the altered chromosomes used for patient stratification) the cytogenetic class of the tumor could be predicted with an error of <1%, a clear association being found between the GEP and patient outcome (P = 0.03) but not tumor histopathology. In summary, we show a clear association between GEP of neoplastic cells and clinically relevant cytogenetic subgroups of meningiomas.
