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

Methylation class "CNS tumor with BCOR/BCOR(L1)-fusion" was recently defined based on methylation profiling and tSNE analysis of a series of 21 neuroepithelial tumors with predominant presence of a BCOR fusion and/or characteristic CNV breakpoints at chromosome 22q12.31 and chromosome Xp11.4. Clear diagnostic criteria are still missing for this tumor type, specially that BCOR/BCOR(L1)-fusion is not a consistent finding in these tumors despite being frequent and that none of the Heidelberger classifier versions is able to clearly identify these cases, in particular tumors with alternative fusions other than those involving BCOR, BCORL1, EP300 and CREBBP. In this study, we introduce a BCOR::CREBBP fusion in an adult patient with a right temporomediobasal tumor, for the first time in association with methylation class "CNS tumor with BCOR/BCOR(L1)-fusion" in addition to 35 cases of CNS neuroepithelial tumors with molecular and histopathological characteristics compatible with "CNS tumor with BCOR/BCOR(L1)-fusion" based on a comprehensive literature review and data mining in the repository of 23 published studies on neuroepithelial brain Tumors including 7207 samples of 6761 patients. Based on our index case and the 35 cases found in the literature, we suggest the archetypical histological and molecular features of "CNS tumor with BCOR/BCOR(L1)-fusion". We also present four adult diffuse glioma cases including GBM, IDH-Wildtype and Astrocytoma, IDH-Mutant with CREBBP fusions and describe the necessity of complementary molecular analysis in "CNS tumor with BCOR/BCOR(L1)-alterations for securing a final diagnosis.
