Next-Generation Sequencing Refines Diagnosis and Expands Precision Medicine Opportunities in Soft Tissue Sarcomas.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 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
Soft tissue sarcomas (STSs) are a heterogeneous group of rare mesenchymal malignancies with overlapping morphological and immunohistochemical features, often making definitive diagnosis challenging. Recent advances in next-generation sequencing (NGS) have enabled the identification of recurrent molecular alterations that contribute to tumor classification, prognostic stratification, and precision oncology approaches. This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic and clinical impact of molecular profiling in pediatric soft tissue sarcomas using the Oncomine Childhood Cancer Research Assay (OCCRA) panel. Fifty-five frozen tumor samples representing 24 distinct soft tissue sarcoma subtypes were obtained from the Pediatric Oncology Institute -IOP/GRAACC/UNIFESP Biobank (B-053). Molecular analysis was performed using NGS to identify gene fusions, single nucleotide variants (SNVs), copy number variations (CNVs), and insertions/deletions (InDels). Clinically relevant molecular alterations were identified in 70% (37/55) of cases, including 18 fusion transcripts, 13 SNVs, 8 CNVs, and 6 InDels. Recurrent and diagnostically relevant alterations included
