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

backgroundMYCN amplification and age are two critical prognostic factors of pediatric neuroblastoma. Previously, we had revealed the prognosis of MYCN target genes. However, the prognostic effects of age related genes in neuroblastoma are unclear.

methodsThe prognostic significance of age and MYCN amplification was determined through multivariate cox regression and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. Genes differentially expressed in MYCN non-amplified younger neuroblastoma patients were identified using Therapeutically Applicable Research to Generate Effective Treatments (TARGET) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) datasets. The prognostic effects of age related genes ALCAM, CACNA2D3, DST, EPB41L4A and KIF1B in pediatric neuroblastoma patients were determined by Kaplan-Meier survival.

resultsIn a pediatric pan-cancer analysis, age was associated with the overall survival of pediatric B-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia, neuroblastoma and wilms tumor in TARGET dataset. Moreover, the prognostic effects of age in neuroblastoma were validated using two independent neuroblastoma cohorts. Furthermore, age and MYCN amplification were independent prognostic factors in pediatric neuroblastoma. Compared with MYCN non-amplified older neuroblastoma patients, MYCN non-amplified younger neuroblastoma patients had better clinical outcomes. ALCAM, CACNA2D3, DST, EPB41L4A and KIF1B were highly expressed in MYCN non-amplified younger neuroblastoma patients. And the higher expression levels of ALCAM, CACNA2D3, DST, EPB41L4A or KIF1B were associated with better prognosis of MYCN non-amplified neuroblastoma patients. DST was an independent prognostic factor in MYCN non-amplified neuroblastoma patients and MYCN non-amplified neuroblastoma younger patients with higher DST expression levels had the best clinical overall survival.

conclusionsAge related gene DST was an independent prognostic factor in MYCN non-amplified neuroblastoma. MYCN non-amplified younger neuroblastoma patients with higher DST expression levels had the best clinical overall survival.
