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

Metastatic PitNETs are a rare life-threatening condition with poor prognosis and documentation. Due to the scarce literature and lack of precise treatment, we hope to better characterise PitNET using the next-generation whole exon sequencing (WES) and RNA sequencing. This case study outlines a 54 years-old man and a 52 years-old woman who were both diagnosed with PitNET and analysis of peripheral blood and tumours were performed by WES and RNA sequencing. Analysis showed that DICER1 mutations in precancerous lesions and LAG3 overexpression were significant in aiding the prognosis and diagnosis of PitNETs. The first case with overexpressed LAG3 and DICER1 mutation died 26 months later, and the second case with LAG3 overexpression achieved partial remission. This study revealed that heightened expression of LAG3 offered promising targets for ICI and mutations in DICER1 could provide markers for effective diagnosis and prognosis.
