Next-Generation Sequencing for Non-Ampullary Duodenal Carcinoma Suggesting the Existence of an Adenoma-Carcinoma Sequence.

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
Duodenal tumors with a sporadic adenoma-carcinoma sequence are extremely rare. For such clinically suspected cases without a specific family history, performing a comprehensive gene search is important to understand the germline mutation background. We present a 68-year-old woman without a genetic or familial history of familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, or Lynch syndrome who presented to Kosei Hospital, Japan, with exertional dyspnea induced by abdominal pain lasting 3 weeks. A duodenal tumor was suspected by contrast-enhanced computed tomography. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy showed a lesion accompanied by a white microprotuberance on the descending part of the duodenum opposite the papilla, with a giant ulcerative lesion at the center of the white lesion. Biopsy revealed a low-grade adenoma, high-grade adenoma, and adenocarcinoma. Immunohistochemical analysis of the adenoma and adenocarcinoma showed Ki-67, p53, cytokeratin 20, caudal-type homeobox 2, and carcinoembryonic antigen positivity and cytokeratin 7 negativity. The findings suggested the presence of an adenoma-adenocarcinoma sequence in duodenal carcinoma. However, in the mutational analysis using next-generation sequencing, c.4348C>T (p.Arg1450Ter) mutation in APC was detected in all normal mucosal, adenoma, and carcinoma tissues. This mutation is common in FAP patients. Even if the presence of an adenoma-adenocarcinoma sequence in duodenal carcinoma is suggested in cases without a familial FAP history, as in this case, genetic analysis may reveal FAP. Thus, performing a comprehensive genetic analysis of duodenal carcinoma patients with a possible adenoma-carcinoma sequence is necessary to explore their genetic background.
