Genetic analysis of primary lung interdigitating dendritic cell sarcomas.
Article in The Journal of pathology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Interdigitating dendritic cell sarcomas (IDCSs) are rare tumors that commonly arise in the hematopoietic system and rarely outside. The genetic drivers of IDCS carcinogenesis are unknown; therefore, therapeutic options are limited. We investigated somatic gene mutations and copy-number alterations (CNAs) in nine IDCSs arising in the lung by whole-exome sequencing (WES) paired with shallow whole-genome sequencing (sWGS). Using a panel of immunohistochemical markers, follicular dendritic sarcomas and Langerhans cell sarcomas were excluded, and inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors were excluded based on morphology. The Ki-67 score was used to stratify the tumors into low-grade (≤ 20%) and high-grade (> 20%) tumors. The main question addressed by the study was whether genetic aberrations can be identified in IDCSs and whether these are druggable. High-grade IDCSs showed a higher fraction of genome altered by CNA (48.42%) than low-grade IDCSs (18.15%) and tended to have greater tumor mutation burden (7.56 versus 0.88 mut/Mb; not significant). Heterogeneous gains on chromosome 17 were characteristic of almost all IDCS cases (eight of nine cases, 89%), independent of grade. CNA in cancer-actionable genes was independent of clinicopathological characteristics and included amplifications in EGFR, MYC, MDM4, ERBB2, CCNE1, and BRAF and losses in MTAP, CDKN2A, CDKN2B, MLH1, and VHL, as well as homozygous losses in SMAD2/4, ATM, and TP53. Somatic gene mutations in cancer-related genes were identified in seven of nine IDCSs. No common driver mutations were identified. The heterogeneous genetic landscape suggests a mixed etiology of IDCS carcinogenesis and genomic instability in high-grade tumors. Distinct druggable biomarkers have been identified in almost all tumors, providing novel therapeutic options. © 2026 The Author(s).
