Loss of heterozygosity of microsatellite loci on chromosome 9p in astrocytic tumors and its prognostic implications.
Article in Journal of neuro-oncology, 1996. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 analyzed 19 samples of various astrocytic tumors (3 astrocytomas, 5 anaplastic astrocytomas, and 11 glioblastomas) for loss of heterozygosity (LOH) on chromosome 9p at 6 microsatellite loci (D9S54, IFNA, D9S171, D9S104, D9S165, and D9S166). Polymerase chain reaction was performed and the products were electrophoresed on polyacrylamide gel. As many as 16 of the 19 samples (84%) exhibited LOH. Three of the 7 informative loci (43%) showed LOH at D9S54, 7 of 17 (41%) at IFNA, 8 of 14 (57%) at D9S171, 7 of 14 (50%) at D9S104, 4 of 8 (50%) at D9S165, and 2 of 7 (29%) at D9S166. LOH was recognized in 57% of the informative loci in anaplastic astrocytomas and 54% in glioblastomas, while it was seen in only 8% of the astrocytomas. Accumulation of LOH with progression or recurrence of tumor was seen in 2 patients. Although, the survival period of the patients correlated well to the histological types of astrocytic tumors, we could not find any obvious correlations between the presence/absence of LOH and the survival period in these patients. In conclusion, we speculate that LOH on chromosome 9p is involved in malignant progression of astrocytomas, but has no significance in predicting survival period in these patients.
