DNA copy number patterns reveal prognostic markers and elucidate mechanisms of evolution in IDH-mutant astrocytoma.
Article in Neuro-oncology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundCurrent literature suggestsisocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH)-mutant astrocytoma contains several molecular subgroups. In this study, we are interested in determining the connection between different molecular subgroups with grade and/or survival.
methodsA cohort of 470 Mayo Clinic adult patients (≥18 years, 56.2% male) with primary IDH-mutant astrocytoma diagnosed by World Health Organization (WHO) 2021 criteria were examined. Results were validated in an independent cohort of 614 Mayo Clinic Neuropathology consult patients and 235 The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) patients.
resultsThe Mayo Clinic Practice cohort confirmed the association of CDKN2A/B deletion with overall survival (OS, homozygous vs hemizygous vs intact, 2.7 vs 9.6 vs 17.2 years, P < .001). Phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) deletion was also associated with poor OS (7.3 vs 17.4 years, P < .001). Increased number of copy number alterations was associated with OS (continuous variable, HR = 1.027, P < .001). Carrying one or more copies of the germline risk allele at rs55705857 was associated with earlier age of onset (median age 33 vs 35 years, P = .01), and a shorter OS after adjusting for age, grade, sex and treatment (HR = 1.81, P = .007). The Mayo Clinic Neuropathology Consult cohort and TCGA were utilized to validate age of onset and survival, respectively. Unsupervised clustering of the copy number alterations identified several clinically significant groups that may define pathways to disease progression. Losses of chromosomes 11p, 13q, 1p, and 10q were all associated with reduced overall survival in the Mayo Clinic cohort.
conclusionsPatients with hemizygous loss of CDKN2A/B, loss of PTEN, increased number of copy number alterations, specific chromosomal arm losses or rs55705857 germline risk allele have reduced overall survival.
