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

Gene fusions, mainly between TMPRSS2 and ERG, are frequent early genomic rearrangements in prostate cancer (PCa). In order to discover novel genomic fusion events, we applied whole-genome paired-end sequencing to identify structural alterations present in a primary PCa patient (G089) and in a PCa cell line (PC346C). Overall, we identified over 3800 genomic rearrangements in each of the two samples as compared with the reference genome. Correcting these structural variations for polymorphisms using whole-genome sequences of 46 normal samples, the numbers of cancer-related rearrangements were 674 and 387 for G089 and PC346C, respectively. From these, 192 in G089 and 106 in PC346C affected gene structures. Exclusion of small intronic deletions left 33 intergenic breaks in G089 and 14 in PC346C. Out of these, 12 and 9 reassembled genes with the same orientation, capable of generating a feasible fusion transcript. Using PCR we validated all the reliable predicted gene fusions. Two gene fusions were in-frame: MPP5-FAM71D in PC346C and ARHGEF3-C8ORF38 in G089. Downregulation of FAM71D and MPP5-FAM71D transcripts in PC346C cells decreased proliferation; however, no effect was observed in the RWPE-1-immortalized normal prostate epithelial cells. Together, our data showed that gene rearrangements frequently occur in PCa genomes but result in a limited number of fusion transcripts. Most of these fusion transcripts do not encode in-frame fusion proteins. The unique in-frame MPP5-FAM71D fusion product is important for proliferation of PC346C cells.
