Benign splenic lesions in BAP1-tumor predisposition syndrome: a case series.
Article in European journal of human genetics : EJHG, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
BAP1-Tumor Predisposition Syndrome (TPDS) is caused by germline variants in BAP1 and predisposes to solid tumors. After observation of a radiologically malignant-appearing splenic mass with benign pathology in a patient with BAP1-TPDS, we sought to retrospectively characterize splenic lesions in individuals with BAP1-TPDS seen at a comprehensive cancer center. A dedicated radiology review for splenic abnormalities was performed. We identified 37 individuals with BAP1-TPDS, 81% with a history of cancer. Of 33 individuals with abdominal imaging, 10 (30%) had splenic lesions, and none were shown to be malignant on follow-up. Splenectomy in an individual with suspected splenic angiosarcoma showed a benign vascular neoplasm with loss of nuclear staining for BAP1 in a subset of cells. Benign splenic lesions appear to be common and potentially BAP1-driven in individuals with BAP1-TPDS; confirmation of these findings could lead to more conservative management and avoidance of splenectomy.
