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

A 16-year-old female with Ewing sarcoma, a very rare disease with poor prognosis in women, was admitted to the hospital with abdominal pain. Diagnostic laparotomy revealed the Ewing sarcoma originating from the extramural uterus. Histological examination yielded positive test results for CD99, vimentin, S-100, eosin 5-maleimide and periodic acid-Shiff. EWS-FLI1 type 1 translocation was confirmed. Fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) 4 (c.1162G> A) and HRas proto-oncogene (HRAS; c.182A> G) mutations were also detected. At eight months following complete remission, pelvic lymph node metastasis was confirmed. Epithelial cell adhesion molecule-positive circulating tumor cells (CTCs) were detected in liquid biopsy. FGFR3 (c.1948A> G) and FGFR4 (c.1162G> A) mutations were found in the CTCs. FGFR4 (c.1162G> A) and HRAS (c.182A> G) mutations were confirmed in cell-free circulating tumor DNA. A sequence of EWSR1 gene was also confirmed in the CTCs. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of skeletal Ewing sarcoma being detected using multiple noninvasive diagnostic methods to observe genetic translocation and mutation in blood CTCs. It may be used to monitor the therapeutic effect of cancer or predict prognosis. Therefore, liquid biopsy is expected to serve a pivotal role in ultra-precise medicine in the future.
