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

Clear Cell odontogenic Carcinomas (CCOC) are rare, aggressive malignant odontogenic tumours which are often misdiagnosed as benign odontogenic tumours due to the non-specific histologic appearance, and benign early clinical presentation. However, due to their propensity to metastasize, the best outcomes are experienced with they are diagnosed early and treated aggressively. In this paper, we present a case of a CCOC misdiagnosed as a clear cell calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumour which was only found to be a CCOC after cervical node metastasis. The original diagnosis was questioned and confirmed to be a CCOC by identification of the chromosomal translocation EWSR1 on fluorescence in situ hybridization. This has recently been described in CCOC and a wide variety of other mesenchymal and epithelial neoplasms. Previous reports have demonstrated EWSR1-ATF1 and EWSR1-CREB1 fusions in CCOC. Next generation sequencing of this case demonstrated the EWSR1-CREM fusion gene which has not been previously reported for CCOC. CREM fusion proteins have only recently been found in several tumour types including the closely associated hyalinizing clear cell carcinoma of salivary glands. This is discussed in this paper, and the role of the discovery of the CREM fusion protein in CCOC adds to your understating of the role of CREM in oncogenesis, and the possible link between CCOCs and hyalinizing clear cell carcinomas.
