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

backgroundThe immune system plays an important role in cancer survival and disease progression, but the role of the immune system in lower grade glioma (LGG) is largely unknown

methodsTo investigate the relationship between lymphocyte infiltration into the LGG microenvironment and LGG survival, we used a genomics approach to recover productive V(D)J recombination sequences from primary tumor, whole exome sequence files available via the cancer genome atlas

resultsIncreased T-cell receptor V(D)J read recovery, indicating increased T-lymphocyte infiltration into the primary tumor site, strongly correlated with decreased overall and disease-free survival; and with a more advanced cancer grade. In addition, this result was more significant than related results obtainable using RNASeq-based, T-cell biomarkers, similar to a recently reported case for pancreatic cancer, where the recovery of BCR recombination reads from WXS files clearly associated with reduced survival, despite the fact that no such association was demonstrable with B-cell based, RNASeq biomarkers

conclusionsOverall, the results presented here support V(D)J recombination read recovery, from whole exome files, as a uniquely useful biomarker for distinct LGG survival rates.
