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

Microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MiT) family translocation renal cell carcinoma harbors variable gene fusions involving either TFE3 or TFEB genes. Multiple 5' fusion partners for TFE3 have been reported, including ASPSCR1, CLTC, DVL2, LUC7L3, KHSRP, PRCC, PARP14, NONO, SFPQ1, MED15, and RBM10. Each of these fusion genes activates TFE3 transcription which can be detected by immunostaining. Using targeted RNA-sequencing, TFE3 fusion gene partners were identified in 5 cases of TFE3 immunohistochemistry positive translocation renal cell carcinoma. Three cases demonstrated known fusions: ASPSCR1-TFE3, MED15-TFE3 and RBM10-TFE3. However, two cases showed unreported NEAT1-TFE3 and KAT6A-TFE3 fusion transcripts. The NEAT1-TFE3 RCC arose in a 59-year-old male; which demonstrated overlapping morphological features seen in NEAT2(MALAT1)-TFEB t(6;11) renal cell carcinoma, including biphasic alveolar/nested tumor cells with eosinophilic cytoplasm. The KAT6A-TFE3 renal cell carcinoma demonstrated typical morphological features of TFE3/Xp11 renal cell carcinoma including papillae, eosinophilic cytoplasm with focal clearing and abundant psammoma bodies. KAT6A gene fusion was reported in some cases of acute myeloid leukemia, which has not been previously reported in solid tumors. This report highlights the genetic complexity of TFE3 translocation renal cell carcinoma; and RNA-sequencing is a powerful approach for elucidating the underlying genetic alterations.
