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

Brain cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death in children. Somatic structural variations (SVs), large-scale alterations in DNA, remain poorly understood in pediatric brain tumors. Here, we detect a total of 13,199 high-confidence somatic SVs in 744 whole-genome sequences of pediatric brain tumors from the Pediatric Brain Tumor Atlas. The somatic SV occurrences have tremendous diversity among the cohort and across different tumor types. We decompose mutational signatures of clustered complex SVs, non-clustered complex SVs, and simple SVs separately to infer their mutational mechanisms. Our finding of many tumor types carrying unique sets of SV signatures suggests that distinct molecular mechanisms shape genome instability in different tumor types. The patterns of somatic SV signatures in pediatric brain tumors are substantially different from those in adult cancers. The convergence of multiple SV signatures on several major cancer driver genes implies vital roles of somatic SVs in disease progression.
