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

backgroundMolecular profiling allows tumor classification as well as assessment of diagnostic, prognostic, and treatment-related molecular changes. Translation into clinical practice and relevance for patients has not been demonstrated yet.

methodsWe analyzed clinical and molecular data of isocitrate dehydrogenase wild-type glioblastoma patients with sufficient clinical follow-up from the Heidelberg Neuro-Oncology Center and with molecular analysis of tumor tissue that consisted of DNA methylation array data, genome-scale copy number variations, gene panel sequencing, and partly

resultsOf 536 patients screened, molecular assessment was performed in 253 patients (47%) in a prospective routine clinical setting with further clinical appointments. Therapy decision was directly based on the molecular assessment in 97 (38%) patients. Of these, genetic information from
