Major driver mutations are shared between sinonasal intestinal-type adenocarcinoma and the morphologically identical colorectal adenocarcinoma.

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
purposeThe purpose of our study was to compare genomic changes in sinonasal intestinal-type adenocarcinoma (sITAC) and colorectal adenocarcinoma (CRC), as they are histomorphologically indistinguishable. This can cause diagnostic difficulties as sinonasal tumours initially diagnosed as sITAC may represent metastasis from CRC, a frequent cancer. Previous studies have not uncovered the underlying mechanism behind the histomorphological resemblance. METHODS/PATIENTS: Tissue samples from all consecutive patients with sITAC at our facility (20 patients) were compared to samples from 20 patients with CRC as well as samples from 2 patients with both CRC and sinonasal tumours. DNA sequencing was performed using Illumina TruSight Oncology 500 panel consisting of 523 cancer-associated genes. Frequent mutations were inspected manually using the Integrative Genomics Viewer.
resultsSeveral well-known cancer-associated genes were mutated in the CRC group, but also in the sinonasal ITAC group. These genes included APC mutated in 65% of the CRC group and 37% of the sinonasal ITAC group, and TP53 mutated in 65% of CRC samples and 58% of ITAC samples. These shared mutations may explain the histomorphological similarities. Successful DNA sequencing was performed on the colorectal sample from one of the two patients with both CRC and sinonasal tumour. Comparing mutations in these samples from one patient we have shown that the sinonasal tumour in all probability was a CRC metastasis.
conclusionWe have identified several genetic similarities between sITAC and CRC. This discovery brings us closer to understanding mechanisms behind the development of sITAC-and hopefully in the future targeted therapy.
