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

The EWSR1/FUS::CREB fusion has been increasingly recognized in several histologically and phenotypically dissimilar neoplasms, ranging from low-grade to malignant tumors. However, a group of malignant epithelioid tumors harboring EWSR1/FUS::CREB fusions has been reported as a distinct tumor type that does not fit within well-defined entities. Herein, we report two cases occurring in the uterus with multiple metastatic nodules in the abdomen and pelvis. Morphologically, these tumors showed uniform, medium-sized epithelioid cells with eosinophilic or clear cytoplasm. Keratin AE1/AE3 or epithelial membrane antigen was diffusely positive, with focally positive sex cord-associated markers. Anaplastic lymphoma kinase was positive in Case 1 but not in Case 2. Next-generation sequencing and fluorescence in situ hybridization confirmed the EWSR1 (exon 15)::CREM (exon 6) fusion in both cases. These uterine neoplasms broaden the spectrum of malignant epithelioid neoplasms and should be included in the differential diagnosis of epithelioid neoplasms involving the female reproductive system.
