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

Exposure to ionizing radiation is a known risk factor for cancer. However, up to now, rigorously defined scientific criteria that could establish case-by-case the radiation-induced (RI) origin of a tumour have been lacking. To identify genes that could constitute a RI signature, we compared the transcriptome of 12 sarcomas arising in the irradiation field of a primary tumour following radiotherapy with the transcriptome of 12 sporadic sarcomas. This learning/training set contained four leiomyosarcomas, four osteosarcomas and four angiosarcomas in each subgroup. We identified a signature of 135 genes discriminating RI from sporadic sarcomas. The robustness of this signature was tested by the blind case-by-case classification of an independent set of 36 sarcomas of various histologies. Thirty-one sarcomas were classified as RI or sporadic; it was not possible to propose an aetiology for the five others. After the code break, it was found that one sporadic sarcoma was misclassified as RI. Thus, the signature is robust with a sensitivity of 96%, a positive and a negative predictive value of 96 and 100%, respectively and a specificity of 62%. The functions of the genes of the signature suggest that RI sarcomas were subject to chronic oxidative stress probably due to mitochondrial dysfunction.
