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

BACKGROUND/

aimBenign smooth-muscle tumors, leiomyomas, occur in nearly every organ but are most common in the uterus. Whereas much is known about the genetics of uterine leiomyomas, little genetic information exists about leiomyomas of other organs. Here, we report and discuss the genetic findings in a para-testicular leiomyoma. MATERIALS AND

methodsCytogenetic, array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) RNA sequencing, reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT- PCR), and Sanger sequencing analyses were performed on a leiomyoma of the spermatic cord removed from a 61-year-old man.

resultsThe karyotype was 48~50,XY,add(3) (p21),+4,+7,+8,+9,add(21)(q22)[cp9]/46,XY[2]. aCGH confirmed the trisomies and also detected multiple gains and losses from 3p and 21q. RNA sequencing detected the chimeras ARHGEF3-CACNA2D2, TRAK1-TIMP4, ITPR1- DT-NR2C2, CLASP2-IL17RD, ZNF621-LARS2, CNTN4- RHOA, and NR2C2-CFAP410. All chimeras were confirmed by RT-PCR and Sanger sequencing.

conclusionOur data, together with those previously published, indicate that a group of leiomyomas may be cytogenetically characterized by aberrations of 3p and the formation of fusion genes.
