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

backgroundWith the significant shift in the classification, risk stratification, and standards of care for gliomas, we sought to understand how the overall survival of patients with these tumors is impacted by molecular features, clinical metrics, and treatment received.

methodsWe assembled a cohort of patients with histopathologically diagnosed glioma from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), Project Genomics Evidence Neoplasia Information Exchange, and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute/Brigham and Women's Hospital. This incorporated retrospective clinical, histological, and molecular data alongside a prospective assessment of patient survival.

resultsOf 4400 gliomas were identified: 2195 glioblastomas, 1198 IDH1/2-mutant astrocytomas, 531 oligodendrogliomas, 271 other IDH1/2-wild-type gliomas, and 205 pediatric-type glioma. Molecular classification updated 27.2% of gliomas from their original histopathologic diagnosis. Examining the distribution of molecular alterations across glioma subtypes revealed mutually exclusive alterations within tumorigenic pathways. Non-TCGA patients had significantly improved overall survival compared to TCGA patients, with 26.7%, 55.6%, and 127.8% longer survival for glioblastoma, IDH1/2-mutant astrocytoma, and oligodendroglioma, respectively (all P < .01). Several prognostic features were characterized, including NF1 alteration and 21q loss in glioblastoma, and EGFR amplification and 22q loss in IDH1/2-mutant astrocytoma. Leveraging the size of this cohort, nomograms were generated to assess the probability of overall survival based on patient age, the molecular features of a tumor, and the treatment received.

conclusionsBy applying modern molecular criteria, we characterize the genomic diversity across glioma subtypes, identify clinically applicable prognostic features, and provide a contemporary update on patient survival to serve as a reference for ongoing investigations.
