Fig. 3

a In model 1 between IDH2mutated (exposed) and IDH1/2wildtype (non-exposed) or b in model 2 between pooled IDH1/2mutated and IDH1/2wildtype in the unmatched (white circles) and the matched study sample (black circles). The standardized difference is the difference of the mean values or proportions (exposed–non-exposed group) divided by the pooled standard deviation. It measures the effect size between two groups and is independent from sample sizes. Inverse probability of treatment weighting has reduced many of the systematic differences between exposed and non-exposed subjects and resulted in balance in the measured variables. Raw values are shown in Supplementary Tables S3 and S4.
