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

NTRK-rearranged spindle cell neoplasms (NTRK-RSCNs) are an emerging soft tissue tumor entity characterized by NTRK gene fusions, occurring predominantly in the extremities of children and young adults. The diagnosis of this tumor is challenging due to its nonspecific and highly variable morphology. Given the response to selective NTRK inhibitors, it remains critical to identify the rare cases occurring in the viscera of adults. Here, we report a 53-year-old woman who presented with a new abdominal mass of half a month's duration. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a mass localized in the body and tail of the pancreas, leading to a partial pancreatectomy. Histologically, the tumor showed that bland monomorphic spindle cells were arranged in single rows of lines along the collagen fiber, reminiscent of sclerosing epithelioid fibrosarcoma. Immunohistochemically, the spindle cells focally expressed CD34 and S100 but lacked SOX10, MUC-4, Desmin, CK, and STAT6 expression. The tumor also showed cytoplasmic reactivity for pan-tyrosine receptor kinase (pan-TRK). Fluorescence
