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

We here document a sarcoma with a recently reported MGA-NUTM1 fusion. A 49-year-old man presented with a nodule in the right lung, which grew to a giant mass in 5 years. The tumor showed uniform oval to spindle cell proliferation in a hypervascular stroma, associated with focal myxoid change and peculiar collagen deposition resembling an osteoid. The tumor showed an undifferentiated phenotype, including negativity for cytokeratin, although it was immunoreactive to BCOR and MUC4, and was initially suspected as BCOR-associated sarcoma. After complete resection, the tumor recurred in the mediastinal lymph node, and the patient died of the disease. RNA sequencing detected MGA (exon 22)-NUTM1 (exon 3), which was confirmed by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction, Sanger sequencing, fluorescence in situ hybridization, and NUT immunohistochemistry. Clinicopathological features of the present case were similar to some of the reported cases of MGA-NUTM1 sarcomas, suggesting the emergence of a distinct tumor subtype.
