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

Non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL) are lymphoproliferative neoplasms with a heterogenous genetic landscape that require multiple assays to be characterized. Cytological samples are frequently utilized in the diagnosis of NHL. An RNA-based assay was utilized to detect translocations and identify mutations in fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) samples of NHL. Fragmentation index and RNA concentration were evaluated in 54 FNAC and eight corresponding histological samples of NHL to establish first the material adequacy before sequencing. To sequence FusionPlex Lymphoma (ArcherDX, Boulder, USA), an anchored multiplex polymerase chain reaction-based RNA targeting 125 genes was used. The sequencing data processing was entirely carried out on the ArcherDX online platform. Mutations were detected in 21 of 62 samples (34%), and in 41 of 62 samples (66%), no genomic alterations were found. The FusionPlex assay detected five BCL6 translocations (three IGH-BCL6 and two EIF4A2-BCL6), six IGH-BCL2 translocations, two IGH-CCND1 translocations, two TP53 point mutations, two MYD88 mutation and four uncommon translocations (two EIF4E3-FOXP1, one TBL1XR1-TP63, one LOC105370537-FUT8). In eight out of eight cases, there was NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) results concordance between corresponding cytological and histological samples (100% concordance). FNAC samples of NHL are suitable for molecular assessment by NGS and FusionPlex Lymphoma assay is an effective method for this purpose. NGS allows the detection of mutations and the identification of translocations on cytological samples also with scanty diagnostic material.
