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

Ovarian fibrosarcomas are extremely rare tumors with little genomic information available to date. In the present report we present the tumoral exome and transcriptome and the germinal exome of an ovarian fibrosarcoma from a 9-years old child. We found a paucity of mutations (0.77/Mb) and CNV alterations. Of these, the most relevant were a point mutation in the metal-binding site of the microRNA-processing DICER1 enzyme and a frame-shift alteration in the tumor suppressor gene NF1. We validated a germinal truncating mutation in DICER1, which was consistent with a DICER1 Syndrome diagnosis, providing the first example of an ovarian fibrosarcoma as the presenting neoplasia in this syndrome. Network and enrichment analyses showed that both a mesenchymal signature and a Hedgehog cascade could be driving the progression of this tumor. We were also able to find a global lincRNA deregulation, as the number of lincRNAs transcripts expressed in the tumor was decreased, with a concomitant upregulation of previously described non-coding transcripts associated with cancer, such as MALAT1, MIR181A1HG, CASC1, XIST and FENDRR. DICER1 Syndrome should be considered as a possible diagnosis in children ovarian fibrosarcoma. The role of lncRNAs in neoplasias associated with DICER1 alterations need to be studied in more detail.
