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

Uterine tumor resembling ovarian sex cord tumor (UTROSCT) is a rare mesenchymal neoplasm, of uncertain biological potential, that was recently reported to exhibit recurrent gene fusions involving NCOA2-3. The purpose of this study was to, using a larger sample size, better characterize the histopathologic and molecular diversity of UTROSCT. Twenty-six cases of UTROSCT from 5 institutions were selected for further study. Fluorescence in situ hybridization for NCOA1, NCOA2, NCOA3, ESR1 and GREB1, and targeted RNA sequencing was performed on 17 and 8 UTROSCTs, respectively. Eight cases underwent massively parallel sequencing to detect single nucleotide variants (SNV), copy number variations, and structural variants using a targeted hybrid-capture based assay. NCOA1-3 rearrangement was identified in 81.8% (18/22) of cases. The most common fusion was ESR1-NCOA3, occurring in 40.9% (9/22). GREB1-NCOA1 (n=4), ESR1-NCOA2 (n=3), and GREB1-NCOA2 (n=1) rearrangements were also identified. No recurrent SNVs were identified and no tumor had SNVs in FOXL2, DICER1, STK11, or AKT1, which can be seen in ovarian sex cord-stromal tumors. Copy number variations were infrequent. Clinical follow-up was available for 11 cases with a mean follow-up interval of 94.4 (range, 1 to 319) months. Only one case had a recurrence 66 months after the initial diagnosis and this was the single case with a GREB1-NCOA2 fusion. This study reports the morphologic spectrum of UTROSCT and confirms the recently reported recurrent NCOA2-3 gene fusions, in addition to identifying novel rearrangements involving NCOA1 in these tumors.
