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

The genomic, genetic and cellular events regulating the onset, growth and survival of rare, choroid plexus neoplasms remain poorly understood. Here, we examine the heterogeneity of human choroid plexus tumors by single-nucleus transcriptome analysis of 23,906 cells from four disease-free choroid plexus and eleven choroid plexus tumors. The resulting expression atlas profiles cellular and transcriptional diversity, copy number alterations, and cell-cell interaction networks in normal and cancerous choroid plexus. In choroid plexus tumor epithelial cells, we observe transcriptional changes that correlate with genome-wide methylation profiles. We further characterize tumor type-specific stromal microenvironments that include altered macrophage and mesenchymal cell states, as well as changes in extracellular matrix components. This first single-cell dataset resource from such scarce samples should be valuable for divising therapies against these little-studied neoplasms.
