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

Clinical tumor specimens are routinely formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE) in Pathology departments worldwide. FFPE blocks are convenient, long-term stable, and easy to archive and manipulate. However, nucleic acids extracted from FFPE tissues generally show a high degree of fragmentation as well as chemical modifications, mainly due to the fixation process. Methods to determine copy number alterations (CNAs) from FFPE clinical samples have proven challenging, in the fact that they are low-plex, only able to profile single genes or gene clusters (such as in situ hybridization-based methods), and/or show a low degree of robustness with partially degraded samples (array-based, NGS-based) as well as being time-consuming, costly, and with limitations in resolution.
