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

Aggresomes are inclusion bodies for misfolded/aggregated proteins. Despite the role of misfolded/aggregated proteins in neurological disorders, their role in cancer pathogenesis is poorly defined. In the current study we aimed to investigate whether aggresomes-positivity could be used to improve the disease subclassification and prognosis prediction of pediatric medulloblastoma. Ninety three pediatric medulloblastoma tumor samples were retrospectively stratified into three molecular subgroups; WNT, SHH and non-WNT/non-SHH, using immunohistochemistry and Multiplex Ligation Probe Amplification. Formation of aggresomes were detected using immunohistochemistry. Overall survival (OS) and event-free survival (EFS) were determined according to risk stratification criteria. Multivariate Cox regression analyses were carried out to exclude confounders. Aggresomes formation was detected in 63.4% (n = 59/93) of samples. Aggresomes were non-randomly distributed among different molecular subgroups (P = 0.00002). Multivariate Cox model identified aggresomes' percentage at ≥20% to be significantly correlated with patient outcome in both OS (HR = 3.419; 95% CI, 1.30-8.93; P = 0.01) and EFS (HR = 3; 95% CI, 1.19-7.53; P = 0.02). The presence of aggresomes in ≥20% of the tumor identified poor responders in standard risk patients; OS (P = 0.02) and EFS (P = 0.06), and significantly correlated with poor outcome in non-WNT/non-SHH molecular subgroup; OS (P = 0.0002) and EFS (P = 0.0004).
