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

Objective: High-risk neuroblastoma, the predominant driver of pediatric cancer deaths, is marked by marked intratumoral heterogeneity that fuels therapy resistance. To predict response to and targets for immunotherapy, we use single-cell and bulk RNA sequencing data to reveal tumor heterogeneity in neuroblastoma, and to identify prognostic genes for neuroblastoma. Methodology: Single-cell data were analyzed for trait-associated subpopulations and genes using single-cell Pathway-based genome-wide association study (scPagwas), and TARGET data were analyzed for differentially expressed genes. Bayesian deconvolution of trait-related subpopulations was performed to analyze the association between differences in convoluted cellular fractions, survival, and clinical traits. Further analysis of the association of convoluted cellular fractions with various immune-related gene sets with immunotherapy. Core gene validation survival, function, and correlation analysis of a convolutional cell-based screen for neuroblastoma. Summary-data-based Mendelian Randomization (SMR) was used to further validate the core genes. Results: Multiple cell subpopulations such as IL7R/CD4 Conclusions: Neuroblastomas have distinct cell subpopulations, and neuroblastomas deficient in the FYB/CD4
