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 tumours that are refractory to treatment have a poor prognosis and constitute a major challenge in offering effective treatment strategies. By targeting molecular alterations, precision cancer medicine may be a viable option for the treatment of brain tumours. In this retrospective analysis of our PCM platform, we describe the molecular profiling of primary brain tumours from 50 patients. Tumour samples of the patients were examined by a 161-gene next-generation sequencing panel, immunohistochemistry, and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). We identified 103 molecular aberrations in 36 (72%) of the 50 patients. The predominant mutations were TP53 (14.6%), IDH1 (9.7%) and PIK3CA (6.8%). No mutations were detected in 14 (28%) of the 50 patients. IHC demonstrated frequent overexpression of EGFR and mTOR, in 38 (76%) and 35 (70%) patients, respectively. Overexpression of PDGFRa and PDGFRb were less common and detected in 16 and four patients, respectively. For 35 patients a targeted therapy was recommended. In our database, the majority of patients displayed mutations, against which targeted therapy could be offered. Based on our observations, PCM may be a feasible novel treatment approach in neuro-oncology.
