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

Background: Nuclear protein in testis (NUT) carcinomas are aggressive, poorly or undifferentiated cancers, generally arising from midline structures. This subtype of squamous cell carcinoma is rare and has a poor prognosis. NUT cancers are defined by NUTM1 fusions. Rearrangements of the NUTM1 gene have rarely been described in primary thyroid cancer and are mainly reported in patients ≤45 years old. NSD3::NUTM1 translocation is the most common NUTM1 fusion transcript reported in thyroid cancer. As they are very infrequent, NUTM1 fusions are not routinely sought in poorly differentiated thyroid cancer (PDTC) or anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC). Case presentation: We report two PDTC patients >65 years old with locally advanced disease and 18FDG-avid distant metastases. NSD3::NUTM1 translocation was evidenced in both patients by RNA sequencing using the next-generation sequencing panel of our institution. Conclusion: We suggest including the search for NUTM1 fusions in the RNA sequencing panel for advanced and refractory thyroid cancers.
