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

We report a cytogenetic investigation of 55 low-grade astrocytomas in 52 patients, 15 children and 37 adults. In addition to numerical aberrations such as trisomy 7 and gonosomal losses, we found structural and/or numerical aberrations of chromosome 1 in eight astrocytomas. There was a striking difference between the rearranged chromosomes in pediatric and adult patients. Whereas the pediatric tumors revealed monosomies 1p with accompanying trisomy 1q, the astrocytomas in adults showed partial or complete monosomies 1q.
