Introduction of whole genome sequencing as NHS standard of care for glioma patients in two neurosurgical oncology centres: West Midlands.

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.
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
backgroundThe challenges of introducing Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) as NHS standard of care for patients with glioma are reviewed.
methodsPatients undergoing glioma surgery with WGS sampling were identified retrospectively from WGS reports between 01/01/2022-30/12/2023. Data including demographics, integrated molecular diagnosis, time through critical pathway steps per calendar quarter (Q) and WGS variants were captured from electronic health records.
results146 glioma samples were analysed. 91% of patients underwent craniotomy and 1 cm
conclusionsWGS is feasible for patients undergoing biopsy or craniotomy. NHS infrastructural resources and improvement of WGS technologies are required to improve turnaround time and ensure equitable access for all patients with glioma.
