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

We present the clinicopathologic and molecular characteristics of a rare sinonasal sarcoma with undifferentiated round cell and spindle morphology, defined by the EWSR1::POU2AF3 fusion. A 62-year-old male presented with nasal congestion. A polypoid lesion excised from the sinonasal cavity was initially diagnosed as 'glomangiopericytoma' at an external center, but recurred and was referred to our clinic four years later. Histopathological evaluation of primary and recurrent tumors showed pleomorphic spindle and round cell morphology with prominent nucleoli and thin-walled hemangiopericytomatous vessels. CD99 (MIC2) and CD117 (CKIT) were diffuse positivite while ß-catenin showed cytoplasmic/membranous expression. Pancytokeratin and EMA were focally positive. NKX2.2, DUX4, ETV4, BCOR, CCNB3, SS18-SSX, STAT6, CD34, and others were all negative. Next generation sequencing confirmed EWSR1::POU2AF3 fusion. This case exemplifies a rare, aggressive sinonasal sarcoma with EWSR1::POU2AF3 fusion, emphasizing its distinct morphology and challenging behaviour.
