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

BCOR internal tandem duplications (ITDs) and rearrangements are implicated in the oncogenesis of a subset of undifferentiated sarcomas. To date, BCOR ITD sarcomas have been exclusively found in non-appendicular infantile soft tissues, whereas BCOR-rearranged sarcomas occur in both bones and soft tissues affecting a wider patient age range. Little is known about patient outcome in BCOR ITD sarcomas. We present a BCOR-expressing, primary bone, undifferentiated sarcoma case involving an adolescent male's left tibia that, unexpectedly, harbored a BCOR ITD instead of a BCOR rearrangement. Furthermore, the patient achieved a partial histologic response after receiving a Ewing sarcoma chemotherapy regimen. Our case expands the clinical spectrum of BCOR ITD sarcomas and suggests that childhood and adult BCOR-expressing sarcomas with an undifferentiated histology should be considered for both BCOR rearrangement and ITD screening. Accurate BCOR mutation identification in undifferentiated sarcomas is essential to define their clinical spectrum and to develop effective management strategies.
