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

purposeProtein misfolding and aggregation result in proteotoxic stress and underlie the pathogenesis of many diseases. To overcome proteotoxicity, cells compartmentalize misfolded and aggregated proteins in different inclusion bodies. The aggresome is a paranuclear inclusion body that functions as a storage compartment for misfolded proteins. Choroid plexus tumors (CPTs) are rare neoplasms comprised of three pathological subgroups. The underlying mechanisms of their pathogenesis remain unclear. This study aims to elucidate the prognostic role and the biological effects of aggresomes in pediatric CPTs.

methodsWe examined the presence of aggresomes in 42 patient-derived tumor tissues by immunohistochemistry and we identified their impact on patients' outcomes. We then investigated the proteogenomics signature associated with aggresomes using whole-genome DNA methylation and proteomic analysis to define their role in the pathogenesis of pediatric CPTs.

resultsAggresomes were detected in 64.2% of samples and were distributed among different pathological and molecular subgroups. The presence of aggresomes with different percentages was correlated with patients' outcomes. The ≥ 25% cutoff had the most significant impact on overall and event-free survival (p-value < 0.001) compared to the pathological and the molecular stratifications.

conclusionsThese results support the role of aggresome as a novel prognostic molecular marker for pediatric CPTs that was comparable to the molecular classification in segregating samples into two distinct subgroups, and to the pathological stratification in the prediction of patients' outcomes. Moreover, the proteogenomic signature of CPTs displayed altered protein homeostasis, manifested by enrichment in processes related to protein quality control.
