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

Chromothripsis is a frequent form of genome instability, whereby a presumably single catastrophic event generates extensive genomic rearrangements of one or multiple chromosome(s). However, little is known about the heterogeneity of chromothripsis across different clones from the same tumour, as well as changes in response to treatment. Here we analyse single-cell genomic and transcriptomic alterations linked with chromothripsis in human p53-deficient medulloblastoma and neural stem cells (n = 9). We reconstruct the order of somatic events, identify early alterations likely linked to chromothripsis and depict the contribution of chromothripsis to malignancy. We characterise subclonal variation of chromothripsis and its effects on extrachromosomal circular DNA, cancer drivers and putatively druggable targets. Furthermore, we highlight the causative role and the fitness consequences of specific rearrangements in neural progenitors.
