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

To identify prognostic factors, array CGH (aCGH) patterns and mutations in WT1 and 9 other genes were analyzed in 128 unilateral Wilms tumors (WTs). Twenty patients had no aCGH aberrations, and 31 had WT1 alterations [silent and WT1 types: relapse-free survival (RFS), 95% and 83%, respectively]. Seventy-seven patients had aCGH changes without WT1 alterations (nonsilent/non-WT1 type) and were subtyped into those with or without +12, 11q-, 16q-, or HACE1 loss. RFS was better for those with than those without +12 (P = .010) and worse for those with than those without 11q-, 16q-, or HACE1 loss (P = .001, .025, or 1.2E-04, respectively). Silent and WT1 type and 8 subtype tumors were integrated and classified into 3 risk groups: low risk for the silent type and +12 subgroup; high risk for the no +12 plus 11q-, 16q-, or HACE1 loss subgroup; intermediate risk for the WT1 type and no +12 plus no 11q-, 16q-, or HACE1 loss subgroup. Among the 27 WTs examined, the expression of 146 genes on chromosome 12 was stronger in +12 tumors than in no +12 tumors, while that of 10 genes on 16q was weaker in 16q- tumors than in no 16q- tumors. Overexpression in 75 out of 146 upregulated genes and underexpression in 7 out of 10 downregulated genes correlated with better and worse overall survival, respectively, based on the public database. +12 was identified as a potential new marker predicting a favorable outcome, and chromosome abnormalities may be related to altered gene expression associated with these abnormalities.
