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

KIT gene mutations in Ewing sarcomas are rare; however, they are much more frequent in other neoplasms, namely mastocytosis. We describe a case of an adult male with a one-year duration of recurrent episodes of pain, swelling, and redness on the proximal phalanx of the third finger of his right hand. A core biopsy suggested a possible mastocytosis. After four years of recurrent episodes and worsening symptoms, an incisional biopsy revealed an Ewing sarcoma with a KIT gene mutation (M541L, on exon 10). KIT gene mutations with gain-of-function were identified in 2.6% of Ewing sarcomas. In this case, the detection of a KIT mutation in an Ewing sarcoma developed at the site of previous mast cell proliferation raises the hypothesis of a possible sarcomatous evolution of the original lesion. To the best of our knowledge, similar cases are not described in the current literature. This is also the first report describing the KIT M541L mutation (exon 10) in Ewing sarcoma.
