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

Background: Patients with glioblastoma (GBM) have a median overall survival (OS) of approximately 16 months. However, approximately 5% of patients survive >5 years. This study examines the differences in methylation profiles between long-term survivors (>5 years, LTS) and short-term survivors (<1 year, STS) with isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH)-wild-type GBMs. Methods: In a multicenter retrospective analysis, we identified 25 LTS with a histologically confirmed GBM. They were age- and sex-matched to an STS. The methylation profiles of all 50 samples were analyzed with EPIC 850k, classified according to the DKFZ methylation classifier, and the methylation profiles of LTS versus STS were compared. Results: After methylation profiling, 16/25 LTS and 23/25 STS were confirmed to be IDH-wild-type GBMs, all with +7/-10 signature. LTS had significantly increased O6-methylguanine methyltransferase (MGMT) promoter methylation and higher prevalence of FGFR3-TACC3 fusion ( Conclusions: A small group of patients with IDH-wild-type GBM survive more than 5 years. While there are few differences in the global methylation profiles of LTS compared to STS, our study highlights potential pathways involved in GBMs with a good or poor prognosis.
