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

The demonstration of the PAX8-PPAR(gamma) fusion oncogene in a subset of follicular thyroid tumors provides a new and promising starting point to dissect the molecular genetic events involved in the development of this tumor form. In the present study, we compared the gene expression profiles of follicular thyroid carcinomas (FTCs) bearing a PAX8-PPAR(gamma) fusion against FTCs that lack this fusion. Using unsupervised clustering and multidimensional scaling analyses, we show that FTCs possessing a PAX8-PPAR(gamma) fusion have a highly uniform and distinct gene expression signature that clearly distinguishes them from FTCs without the fusion. The PAX8-PPAR(gamma)(+) FTCs grouped in a defined cluster, where highly ranked genes were mostly associated with signal transduction, cell growth and translation control. Notably, a large number of ribosomal protein and translation-associated genes were concurrently underexpressed in the FTCs with the fusion. Taken together, our findings further support that follicular carcinomas with a PAX8-PPAR(gamma) rearrangement constitute a distinct biological entity. The current data represent one step to elucidate the molecular pathways in the development of FTCs with the specific PAX8-PPAR(gamma) fusion.
