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

backgroundTeratomas are a common type of germ cell tumor. However, only a few reports on their genomic constitution have been published. The study of teratomas may provide a better understanding of their stepwise differentiation processes and molecular bases, which could prove useful for the development of tissue-engineering technologies.

methodsIn the present study, we analyzed the copy number aberrations of nine ovarian mature cystic teratomas using array comparative genomic hybridization in an attempt to reveal their genomic aberrations.

resultsThe many chromosomal aberrations observed on array comparative genomic hybridization analysis reveal the complex genetics of this tumor. Amplifications and deletions of large DNA fragments were observed in some samples, while amplifications of EVX2 and HOXD9-HOXD13 on 2q31.1, NDUFV1 on 11q13.2, and RPL10, SNORA70, DNASE1L1, TAZ, ATP6AP1, and GDI1 on Xq28 were found in all nine mature cystic teratomas.

conclusionsOur results indicated that amplifications of these genes may play an important etiological role in teratoma formation. Moreover, amplifications of EVX2 and HOXD9-HOXD13 on 2q31.1, found on array comparative genomic hybridization, may help to explain the characteristics of teratomas in chondrogenesis and osteogenesis.
