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

We recently reported that the vast majority (>90%) of low-grade diffuse gliomas (diffuse astrocytoma, oligoastrocytoma and oligodendroglioma) carry at least one of the following genetic alterations: IDH1/2 mutation, TP53 mutation or 1p/19q loss. Only 7% of cases were triple-negative (ie, lacking any of these alterations). In the present study, array comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) in 15 triple-negative WHO grade II gliomas (eight diffuse astrocytomas and seven oligodendrogliomas) showed loss at 9p21 (p14(ARF) , p15(INK4b) , p16(INK4a) loci) and 13q14-13q32 (containing the RB1 locus) in three and two cases, respectively. Further analyses in 31 triple-negative cases as well as a total of 160 non-triple-negative cases revealed that alterations in the RB1 pathway (homozygous deletion and promoter methylation of the p15(INK4b) , p16(INK4a) and RB1 genes) were significantly more frequent in triple-negative (26%) than in non-triple-negative cases (11%; P = 0.0371). Multivariate analysis after adjustment for age, histology and treatment showed that RB1 pathway alterations were significantly associated with unfavorable outcome for patients with low-grade diffuse glioma [hazard ratio, 3.024 (1.279-6.631); P = 0.0057]. These results suggest that a fraction of low-grade diffuse gliomas lacking common genetic alterations may develop through a distinct genetic pathway, which may include loss of cell-cycle control regulated by the RB1 pathway.
