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

Pediatric high-grade gliomas (pHGGs) encompass a heterogeneous group of tumors. Three main molecular types (H3.3 mutant, IDH mutant, and H3.3/IDH wild-type) and a number of subtypes have been identified. We provide an overview of pHGGs and present a mono-institutional series. We studied eleven non-related pHGG samples through a combined approach of routine diagnostic tools and a gene panel. TP53 and H3F3A were the most mutated genes (six patients each, 54%). The third most mutated gene was EGFR (three patients, 27%), followed by PDGFRA and PTEN (two patients each, 18%). Variants in the EZHIP, MSH2, IDH1, IDH2, TERT, HRAS, NF1, BRAF, ATRX, and PIK3CA genes were relatively infrequent (one patient each, 9%). In one case, gene panel analysis documented the presence of a pathogenic IDH2 variant (c.419G>A, p.Arg140Gln) never described in gliomas. More than one-third of patients carry a variant in a gene associated with tumor-predisposing syndromes. The absence of constitutional DNA did not allow us to identify their constitutional origin.
