Detection of Fusion Genes Using a Targeted RNA Sequencing Panel in Gastrointestinal and Rare Cancers.
Article in Journal of oncology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
Successful identification and targeting of oncogenic gene fusion is a major breakthrough in cancer treatment. Here, we investigate the therapeutic implications and feasibility of using a targeted RNA sequencing panel to identify fusion genes in gastrointestinal and rare cancers. From February through December 2017, patients with gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary, gynecologic, sarcoma, or rare cancers were recruited for a clinical sequencing project at Samsung Medical Center (NCT #02593578). The median age of the patients was 58 years (range, 31-81 years), and the male-to-female ratio was 1.3 : 1. A total of 118 patients passed the quality control process for a next-generation sequencing- (NGS-) based targeted sequencing assay. The NGS-based targeted sequencing assay was performed to detect gene fusions in 36-53 cancer-implicated genes. The following cancer types were included in this study: 28 colorectal cancers, 27 biliary tract cancers, 25 gastric cancers, 18 soft tissue sarcomas, 9 pancreatic cancers, 6 ovarian cancers, and 9 other rare cancers. Strong fusion was detected in 25 samples (21.2%). We found that 5.9% (7/118) of patients had known targetable fusion genes involving
