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

NTRK gene rearrangements occur in a wide spectrum of tumors and are actionable events predictive of response to TRK inhibitor. We report the first case of gastric carcinoma harboring a NTRK fusion in a 79-year-old man. The tumor was composed predominantly of poorly cohesive carcinoma with focal tubular differentiation. Solid sheet-like or nested pattern of large oxyphilic cells was also noted in 10% of tumor. Pan-Trk immunohistochemistry demonstrated Trk expression with a diffuse cytoplasmic and dot-like staining only in the solid component. Extensive lymphatic invasion and multiple nodal metastases were noted and were predominated by Trk-positive component. A novel ATP1B1-NTRK1 fusion was detected by RNA-seq using fresh frozen sample. The patient died of the disease, despite surgery and chemotherapy. Although extremely rare, NTRK rearrangement does occur in gastric carcinoma and might be associated with aggressive phenotype as well as histologic features like solid growth with extensive lymphatic invasion.
