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

Polymorphous adenocarcinoma (PAC) is a common, usually low-grade salivary gland carcinoma. While conventional PACs are most associated with PRKD1 p.E710D hotspot mutations, the cribriform subtype is often associated with gene fusions in PRKD1, PRKD2, or PRKD3. These fusions have been primarily identified by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis, with a minority evaluated by next-generation sequencing (NGS). Many of the reported fusions were detected by break-apart FISH probes and therefore have unknown partners or were negative by FISH altogether. In this study, we aimed to further characterize the fusions associated with PAC with NGS. Fifty-four PACs (exclusively cribriform and mixed/intermediate types to enrich the study for fusion-positive cases) were identified and subjected to NGS. Fifty-one cases were successfully sequenced, 28 of which demonstrated gene fusions involving PRKD1, PRKD2, or PRKD3. There were 10 cases with the PRKD1 p.E710D mutation. We identified a diverse group of fusion partners, including 13 novel partners, 3 of which were recurrent. The most common partners for the PRKD genes were ARID1A and ARID1B. The wide variety of involved genes is unlike in other salivary gland malignancies and warrants a broader strategy of sequencing for molecular confirmation for particularly challenging cases, as our NGS study shows.
