Targeted Next-Generation Sequencing Reveals Divergent Clonal Evolution in Components of Composite Pleomorphic Xanthoastrocytoma-Ganglioglioma.
Article in Journal of neuropathology and experimental neurology, 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
Composite pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma-ganglioglioma (PXA-GG) is an extremely rare central nervous system neoplasm with 2 distinct but intermingled components. Whether this tumor represents a "collision tumor" of separate neoplasms or a monoclonal neoplasm with divergent evolution is poorly understood. Clinicopathologic studies and capture-based next generation sequencing were performed on extracted DNA from all available PXA-GG at 2 medical centers. Five PXA-GG were diagnosed in 1 male and 4 female patients ranging from 13 to 25 years in age. Four arose within the cerebral hemispheres; 1 presented in the cerebellar vermis. DNA was sufficient for analysis in 4 PXA components and 3 GG components. Four paired PXA and GG components harbored BRAF p.V600E hotspot mutations. The 4 sequenced PXA components demonstrated CDKN2A homozygous deletion by sequencing with loss of p16 (protein product of CDKN2A) expression by immunohistochemistry, which was intact in all assessed GG components. The PXA components also demonstrated more frequent copy number alterations relative to paired GG components. In one PXA-GG, shared chromosomal copy number alterations were identified in both components. Our findings support divergent evolution of the PXA and GG components from a common BRAF p.V600E-mutant precursor lesion, with additional acquisition of CDKN2A homozygous deletion in the PXA component as is typically seen in conventional PXA.
