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

Atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumors (AT/RTs) are rare pediatric brain tumors characterized by bialleic loss of the SMARCB1 tumor suppressor gene. In contrast to pediatric AT/RT that has a simple genome, very little is known about the adult AT/RT genomic landscape. Using a combination of whole-exome sequencing and high-resolution SNP array in a single adult pituitary AT/RT, we identified a total of 47 non-synonymous mutations, of which 20 were predicted to cause non-conservative amino acid substitutions, in addition to a subclone of cells with trisomy 8. We suggest that adult AT/RT may not be markedly dissimilar to other adult brain tumors where mutations in a range of genes, reflecting the functional specialization of different brain regions, but including SMARCB1 inactivation, may be required for its pathogenesis.
