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

purposeTranslocation-associated sarcomas (TASs) encompass a wide spectrum of pathologic entities and clinical behavior. Driven by the oncogenic fusion, TASs typically show a stable genome and a low tumor mutational burden (TMB), with infrequent secondary genetic alterations (SGAs). Although oncogenic/likely oncogenic SGAs have been associated with an aggressive clinical course in certain histotypes, a comprehensive comparative study of their clinical impact across TAS histotypes has not been performed to date. MATERIALS AND

methodsHerein, we investigate the genomic landscape of 632 TASs, spanning the most common histotypes: Ewing sarcoma (ES, n = 196), desmoplastic small round cell sarcoma (DSRCT, n = 115), solitary fibrous tumor (SFT, n = 87), synovial sarcoma (SS, n = 75), etc. All tumors were tested on a clinically validated, matched tumor-normal DNA-targeted next-generation sequencing panel, with confirmed gene fusion partners. Both gene-level and arm-level copy number alterations were assessed and correlated with survival.

resultsOverall, oncogenic SGAs were detected in 51% of patients, with the highest incidence in myxoid liposarcoma (MLS, 88%). Patients with oncogenic SGA had a higher TMB and were associated with distant metastasis and/or progression-free survival (PFS) in ES, SFT, SS, and MLS in the localized group.

conclusionOverall, oncogenic SGA correlated with a worse survival in certain TAS types.
