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

Uterine tumour resembling ovarian sex cord tumour (UTROSCT) is an uncommon neoplasm associated with recurrent gene fusions involving NCOA1-3, with ESR1 and GREB1 being the most frequent fusion partners. Fusions are not present in all cases and there have been few reports of gene mutations in these neoplasms. We report an index case of a UTROSCT (classic morphology with supportive immunophenotype) in a 58-year-old woman with no demonstrable fusions on RNA next generation sequencing (NGS) but with CTNNB1 and PTEN gene mutations. We reviewed a large series (n = 28) of UTROSCT from a single institution which had undergone RNA and DNA NGS. A total of 26 gene mutations were found in 12 of 28 (43%) cases, although no highly recurrent mutations were present. In 8 of these 12 cases, there were also characteristic gene fusions of UTROSCT. We stress that, especially in cases of UTROSCT with no fusions identified on RNA sequencing, it may be useful and informative to undertake DNA testing to look for underlying mutations.
