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

Neuroblastoma is the most common extra-cranial solid tumor in childhood. Presence of disseminated tumor cells (DTCs) in the bone marrow (BM) at diagnosis and at relapse is a common event in stage M neuroblastomas. Although the clinical heterogeneity of disseminated neuroblastomas is frequently associated with genomic diversity, so far, only little information exists about the genomic status of DTCs. This lack of knowledge is mainly due to the varying amount of BM infiltrating tumor cells, which is usually below 30% even at diagnosis thereby hampering systematic analyses. Thus, a valuable chance to analyze metastatic and relapse clones is, so far, completely unexploited. In this study, we show that the enrichment of tumor cells in fresh or DMSO frozen BM samples with a minimum of 0.05% or 0.1% infiltration rate, respectively, by applying magnetic bead-based technique increased the DTC content to a sufficient level to allow SNP array analyses in 49 out of 69 samples. In addition, we successfully used non-enriched BM samples with ≥30% DTCs including non-stained and immunostained cytospin and BM smear slides for SNP array analyses in 44 cases. We analyzed the genomic profile of DTCs by an ultra-high density SNP array technique with highest performance detecting all segmental chromosomal aberrations, amplified regions, acquired loss of heterozygosity events and minor aberrations affecting single genes or parts thereof.
