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

Over the last 2 decades, high throughput genome-wide molecular profiling has revealed characteristic genetic and epigenetic alterations associated with different types of central nervous system (CNS) tumors. DNA methylation profiling has emerged as an important molecular platform for CNS tumor classification with improved diagnostic accuracy and patient risk stratification in comparison to the standard of care histopathological analysis and any single molecular tests. The emergence of DNA methylation arrays have also played a crucial role in refining existing types and the discovery of new tumor types or subtypes. The adoption of methylation data into neuro-oncology has been greatly aided by the development of a freely accessible machine learning-based classifier. In this review, we discuss methylation workflow, address the utility of DNA methylation profiling in CNS tumors in a routine diagnostic setting, and provide an overview of the methylation-based tumor types and new types or subtypes identified with this platform.
