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

backgroundMEIS1::NCOA2 is a rare fusion gene that has been recently described in a subset of spindle cell rhabdomyosarcomas and multiple low-grade undifferentiated spindle cell sarcomas predominantly arising in the genitourinary and gynecologic tracts with no specific line of differentiation. We present the first documented case of this neoplasm arising as a lung primary tumor. CASE PRESENTATION: A 74-year-old woman with a 40-year smoking history presented with a 2.1 × 1.7 cm lung nodule discovered on computed tomography (CT) scan. A biopsy and subsequent lobe resection were performed, as well as an extensive metastatic work up, which revealed no additional masses. No specific line of differentiation was found by immunohistochemical staining, and an RNA-based fusion panel revealed a MEIS1::NCOA2 fusion, at which point a diagnosis of Low-Grade Undifferentiated Sarcoma with MEIS1::NCOA2-Rearrangement was rendered.

conclusionsThis report represents the first diagnosis of this tumor primary to the lung, and provides additional insight into the origin and localization of these rare tumors.
