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

Gliomas are the most common malignant primary brain tumors characterized by poor prognosis. The genotyping of tumors using next generation sequencing (NGS) platforms enables the identification of genetic alterations that constitute diagnostic, prognostic and predictive biomarkers. The present study investigated the molecular profile of 32 tumor samples from 32 patients with high-grade gliomas by implementing a broad 80-gene targeted NGS panel while reporting their clinicopathological characteristics and outcomes. Subsequently, 14 of 32 tumor specimens were also genotyped using a 55-gene NGS panel to validate the diagnostic accuracy and clinical utility of the extended panel. The median follow-up was 19.2 months. In total, 129 genetic alterations including 33 structural variants were identified in 38 distinct genes. Among 96 variants (single nucleotide variants and insertions and deletions), 38 were pathogenic and 58 variants of unknown clinical significance.
