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 differential diagnosis of small round cell tumors of bone and soft tissue (SRCT) crucially relies on the synoptic evaluation of morphology, immunohistochemical patterns, and molecular features. Although the implementation of broad RNA sequencing in diagnostic molecular pathology routines has substantially changed the standards for molecular confirmation of diagnoses, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue sections remains an essential tool for rapid molecular corroboration of diagnoses, which is essentially required for therapeutic decisions. We discuss the major FISH approaches currently employed in diagnostic molecular pathology, addressing classic Ewing sarcoma and differential diagnoses among SRCT, which often cannot be sufficiently ruled out by immunohistochemistry. This chapter will address technical issues, particularly strategies and pitfalls in interpreting FISH patterns.
