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

backgroundNeuroblastoma (NB) is the most common extracranial solid tumor in infants and children. Its variable location and complex pathogenesis make NB hard for early diagnosis and risk classification. METHODOLOGY: We analyzed the methylation data of 236 samples from patients with NB in Therapeutically Applicable Research to Generate Effective Treatments (TARGET) database. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used for comparing overall survival of NB patients in different groups. Epigenome-wide association study (EWAS) was conducted to screen CpGs significantly associated with NB patients' Children's Oncology Group (COG). Logistic regression method was used for constructing a model to predict NB patients' COG.

resultsNB patients in low COG showed significantly superior prognosis than those in high COG. A total of seven CpG sites were found closely related to COG. Logistic regression model based on those CpGs showed superior performance in separating NB patients in different COGs.

conclusionsThe present study highlights the important role of DNA methylation in NB development, which might provide evidence for treatment decisions for children NB.
