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

introductionRecently discovered molecular alterations in pediatric low-grade glioma have helped to refine the classification of these tumors and offered novel targets for therapy. Genetic aberrations may combine with histopathology to offer new insights into glioma classification, gliomagenesis and prognosis. Therapies targeting common genetic aberrations in the MAPK pathway offer a novel mechanism of tumor control that is currently under study.

methodsWe have reviewed common molecular alterations found in pediatric low-grade glioma as well as recent clinical trials of MEK and BRAF inhibitors.

resultsIn this topic review, we examine the current understanding of molecular alterations in pediatric low-grade glioma, as well as their role in diagnosis, prognosis and therapy. We summarize current data on the efficacy of targeted therapies in pediatric low-grade gliomas, as well as the many unanswered questions that these new discoveries and therapies raise.

conclusionsThe identification of driver alterations in pediatric low-grade glioma and the development of targeted therapies have opened new therapeutic avenues for patients with low-grade gliomas.
