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

Secretory carcinoma (SC) is a relatively new disease entity, separate from acinic cell carcinoma (AciCC), which frequently displays ETV6-NTRK3 gene fusion. However, the differences between SC and AciCC remain ambiguous. Genetic diversity makes its diagnosis complicated. In this regard combined expression of immunohistochemistry markers S100/Mammaglobin/SOX10 and DOG1 is need of the hour as alternative methodology. The current systematic review was to investigate the diagnostic utility of combined immunohistochemical expression of S100/Mammaglobin/SOX10/DOG1 in distinction of SC from AciCC histologically. An electronic search of databases was carried out using MEDLINE by PubMed, Google scholar, Scopus and Web of science. Articles inclusive of SC and AciCC were assessed with S100/Mammaglobin/SOX10/DOG1 immunohistochemistry and their predominant expression pattern, predictive values, sensitivity and specificity were gathered. Fourteen eligible articles were analysed, which revealed predominant immunostaining pattern of S100 + /Mammaglobin + /SOX10 + /DOG1- by nearly all ETV6::NTRK3 fusion prevalent SCs alongside with other gene fusions like RET, MET and MAML3 with 98.4% sensitivity as well as 86.1% specificity. The evidence supports that S100/Mammaglobin/SOX10/DOG1 combined immunostaining can serve as a reliable diagnostic method to differentiate secretory from acinic cell carcinoma.
