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

introductionH3K27M-mutated diffuse midline gliomas (H3-DMGs) are aggressive tumors with a fatal outcome. This study integrating individual patient data (IPD) from published studies aimed to investigate the prognostic impact of different genetic alterations on survival of these patients.

methodsWe accessed PubMed and Web of Science to search for relevant articles. Studies were included if they have available data of follow-up and additional molecular investigation of H3-DMGs. For survival analysis, Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox regression models were utilized, and corresponding hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were computed to analyze the impact of genetic events on overall survival (OS).

resultWe included 30 studies with 669 H3-DMGs. TP53 mutations were the most common second alteration among these neoplasms. In univariate Cox regression model, TP53 mutation was an indicator of shortened survival (HR 1.446; 95% CI 1.143-1.829) whereas ACVR1 (HR 0.712; 95% CI 0.518-0.976) and FGFR1 mutations (HR 0.408; 95% CI 0.208-0.799) conferred prolonged survival. In addition, ATRX loss was also associated with a better OS (HR 0.620; 95% CI 0.386-0.996). Adjusted for age, gender, and tumor location, the presence of TP53 mutations, the absence of ACVR1 or FGFR1 mutations remained significantly poor prognostic factors.

conclusionsWe outlined the prognostic importance of additional genetic alterations in H3-DMGs and recommended that these neoplasms should be further molecularly segregated. This may aid neuro-oncologists in appropriate risk stratification.
