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

Neuroblastoma is a heterogeneous childhood tumour of the sympathetic nervous system, in which deletions of chromosomal region 1p and amplification of the MYCN oncogene correlate with aggressive tumour behaviour. However, the majority of neuroblastoma tumours show neither of these aberrations, indicating that other chromosomal regions may be involved in tumorigenesis. Here, we report findings of loss of heterozygosity (LOH) on chromosome 3. In our neuroblastoma material, nine of 59 (15.3%) tested tumours showed allelic loss of chromosome 3p markers. We found significant clinical and biological differences between tumours with the loss of one entire chromosome 3 vs tumours with partial loss in chromosome region 3p. All children with tumours with whole chromosome 3 loss are long-term survivors, whereas all children with tumours showing partial 3p LOH have died from tumour progression. A consensus region found to be deleted in all the tumours with 3p deletions was defined by markers D3S1286 and D3S1295, i.e. 3p25.3-p14.3, distal to the FHIT gene.
