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

Brain tumors are regarded as the most prevalent solid neoplasms in children and the principal reason of death in this population. Even though surgical resection, radiotherapy and chemotherapy have improved outcome, a significant number of patients die in 6-12 months after diagnosis while those who survive, frequently experience side effects and relapses. Several studies suggest that many types of cancer including pediatric brain tumors are characterized by alterations in epigenetic profiles with deregulated chromatin remodeling and posttranslational covalent histone modifications playing a prominent role. Moreover, interplay of genetic and epigenetic changes has been associated to tumor growth and invasion as well as to modulation of patient's response to current treatment. Therefore, detection of tumor-specific histone changes and elucidation of the underlying gene defects will allow successful tailoring of personalized treatment. The goal of this review is to provide an update of genetic and epigenetic alterations that characterize pediatric brain tumors focusing on histone modifications, aiming at directing future molecular and epigenetic therapeutic targeting.
