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

Primary mismatch-repair-deficient high-grade gliomas (priMMRD-HGG) are lethal tumors characterized by hypermutation, resistance to chemoradiation and variable response to immunotherapy. To investigate the mechanisms governing the emergence of driver mutations and their impact on gliomagenesis and patient outcomes, we analyzed genomic and clinical data from 162 priMMRD-HGG. Here we identified three subgroups defined by secondary driver mutations in replicative DNA polymerases or IDH1. These subgroups converge on glioma drivers through distinct combinations of genomic instability-generating mechanisms, displaying an inverse correlation between point mutations and copy number alterations. MMRD signatures drive the emergence of specific mutations in TP53 and IDH1, notably excluding common pediatric glioma drivers. Global hypomethylation stratifies priMMRD-HGG into a unique methylation cluster. DNA-polymerase
