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

Although the role of MYCN amplification in neuroblastoma is well established, the biological and clinical characteristics of the 2p gain region harboring the MYCN gene remain unclear. The aim of this study was to compare the biological and clinical characteristics of these tumors with MYCN amplified and nonamplified neuroblastoma and to determine their impact on disease outcome. Samples from 177 patients were analyzed by fluorescence in situ hybridization, including MYCN, 1p, 17q, and 11q regions; 2p gain was identified in 25 patients, MYCN amplification in 31, and no amplification in 121 patients. Patients with 2p gain had a significantly worse 5-year event-free survival rate than patients with no MYCN amplified (P < 0.001), and an intermediate 5-year overall survival rate difference existed between the MYCN amplified tumors (P = 0.025) and nonamplified (P = 0.003) groups. All of the 2p gain samples were associated with segmental and/or numerical alterations in the other tested regions. The presence of segmental alterations with or without MYCN amplification was recently found to be the strongest predictor of relapse in a multivariate analysis. The results of the present study suggest that the determination of MYCN gene copy number relative to chromosome 2, when evaluating MYCN status at diagnosis, may help to reveal the underlying genetic pattern of these tumors and better understand their clinical behavior.
