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 use of modern molecular techniques has gained importance in the diagnosis of sarcomas in recent years. Each of the analytical methods discussed here has its unique advantages and specific requirements. Cytogenetic screening methods which provide genome-wide information depend on the availability of fresh tissue. With the aid of fluorescence in situ hybridization and RT-polymerase chain reaction, specific events such as translocations in Ewing sarcoma, synovial sarcoma or alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma, as well as gene amplifications in well-differentiated and dedifferentiated liposarcoma or radiation-induced angiosarcoma and deletions in rhabdoid tumors or well-differentiated spindle cell liposarcoma can be detected in fresh and formalin fixed tissues. Molecular methods including Sanger sequencing, pyrosequencing and high resolution melting provide information about specific molecular aberrations on gene level. Here we review the most important molecular techniques currently used in sarcoma diagnosis, describe their relevance for differential diagnosis and point out specific examples.
