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

purposeHepatoblastoma is a rare childhood liver malignancy with limited relevant cytogenetic data. This study aimed to discover common genomic copy-number variations (CNVs) in subjects with hepatobalstoma and its relevance to the clinical course.

methodsGene copy-number was systemically rated by high-resolution comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) DNA oligonucleotide microarray. The study group consisted of 12 children (7 males and 5 females) with hepatoblastoma and another 20 healthy individuals (10 males and 10 females) as controls. The influence of recurrent CNVs on clinical outcomes was analyzed.

resultsFour highly recurrent CNVs were identified in these 12 hepatoblastoma children after comparison with controls, including a gain on 1p13.3 (n = 3, 25%) and losses on 5p15.33 (n = 4, 33.3%), 16q12.2 (n = 4, 33.3%), and 19q13.42 (n = 3, 25%). The most prevalent sites of genomic deletion were 5p15.33 and 16q12.2. Zinc finger, DHHC-type containing 11 (ZDHHC11) and DHHC-type containing 11B (ZDHHC11B) were mapped to 5p15.33, which was associated with a lower rate of survival with native liver (p = 0.03). The carboxylesterase 4-like (CES4) gene that mapped to 16q12.2 was associated with smaller tumor size at presentation.

conclusionsDeletions of 5p15.33 (33.3%) and 16q12.2 (33.3%) are the most frequent hepatoblastoma-related events in our patient group with 5p15.33 microdeletion as a potential biomarker for the fate of survival with native liver.
