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

High risk neuroblastoma (HR-NB) remains difficult to treat, and its overall survival (OS) is still below 50%. Although HR-NB is a heterogeneous disease, HR-NB patients are currently treated in a similar fashion. Through unsupervised biclustering, we further stratified HR-NB patients into two reproducible and clinically distinct subtypes, including an ultra-high risk neuroblastoma (UHR-NB) and high risk neuroblastoma (HR-NB). The UHR-NB subtype consistently had the worst OS in multiple independent cohorts ( P < 0 . 008 ). Out of 283 neuroblastoma-specific immune genes that were used for stratification, 39 of them were differentiated in UHR-NB, including four upregulated and 35 downregulated, as compared to HR-NB. The four UHR-NB upregulated genes (ADAM22, GAL, KLHL13 and TWIST1) were all upregulated in MYCN amplified neuroblastoma in 5 additional cohorts. TWIST1 and ADAM22 were also positively correlated with cancer stage, while GAL was an independent OS predictor in addition to MYCN and age. Furthermore, we identified 26 commonly upregulated and 311 downregulated genes in UHR-NB from all 4723 immune-related genes. While 43 KEGG pathways with molecular functions were enriched in the downregulated immune-related genes, only the P53 signaling pathway was enriched in the upregulated ones, which suggested that UHR-NB was a TP53 related subtype with reduced immune activities.
