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

The tumor microenvironment (TME) plays critical roles in tumor growth and progression, however key regulators of gene expression in the TME of cutaneous malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (C-MPNST) and spindle cell melanoma (SCM) have not been well elucidated. Herein, we investigate the epigenetic regulation of promoters and gene bodies and their effect on the TME composition of C-MPNSTs and SCMs. A cohort of 30 patients was analyzed using differential gene expression (DGE) and gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) using the Nanostring platform. Methylation analysis was carried out utilizing an Infinium Methylation EPIC array targeting 866,562 methylation site (CpG) islands. DGE revealed overexpression of genes related to mast cells in the TME of SCMs, and a predominance of exhausted CD8
