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

High-risk (HR) neuroblastoma (NBL) patients often receive standardized treatment despite wide variations in clinical outcomes, underscoring the need for improved stratification tools. A distinguishing feature of NBL is the patient-specific expression of gangliosides (GGs), particularly GD2, which may serve as biomarkers. We analyzed GG profiles in 18 patient-derived tumors and 11 NBL cell lines using thin-layer chromatography and mass spectrometry. Expression of 0-, a-, and b-series GGs was examined and correlated with clinical risk, outcome, and gene expression data. Low-risk (LR) tumors expressed higher levels of complex b-series GGs. In HR tumors, five GG profiles (A-E) were identified. Profile A featured complex b-series GGs; B showed GD2 dominance; C showed synthesis arrest at GM3 or GD3 due to low expression of the GM2/GD2 synthase, encoded by the
