DICER1 mutations in primary central nervous system tumors: new insights into histologies, mutations, and prognosis.
Article in Journal of neuro-oncology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
purposeWe sought to characterize clinical outcomes for adult and pediatric patients with primary CNS tumors harboring DICER1 mutations or loss of DICER1.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective cohort study of 98 patients who were treated between 1995 and 2020 for primary CNS tumors containing DICER1 mutations or loss of DICER1 on chromosome 14q, identified by targeted next generation sequencing. Kaplan-Meier plots and log rank tests were used to analyze survival. Cox proportional-hazards model was used for univariate and multivariable analyses for all-cause mortality (ACM).
resultsWithin our cohort, the most common malignancies were grade 3/4 glioma (61%), grade 1/2 glioma (17%), and CNS sarcoma (6%). Sarcoma and non-glioma histologies, and tumors with biallelic DICER1 mutations or deletions were common in the pediatric population. Mutations occurred throughout DICER1, including missense mutations in the DexD/H-box helicase, DUF283, RNaseIIIa, and RNaseIIIb domains. For patients with grade 3/4 glioma, MGMT methylation (Hazard ratio [HR] 0.35, 95% Confidence Interval [CI] 0.16-0.73, p = 0.005), IDH1 R132 mutation (HR 0.11, 95% CI 0.03-0.41, p = 0.001), and missense mutation in the DexD/H-box helicase domain (HR 0.06, 95% CI 0.01-0.38, p = 0.003) were independently associated with longer time to ACM on multivariable analyses.
conclusionDICER1 mutations or loss of DICER1 occur in diverse primary CNS tumors, including previously unrecognized grade 3/4 gliomas as the most common histology. While prior studies have described RNaseIIIb hotspot mutations, we document novel mutations in additional DICER1 functional domains. Within the grade 3/4 glioma cohort, missense mutation in the DexD/H-box helicase domain was associated with prolonged survival.
