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

Dual-color interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with ETV6 and AML1 probes was used for the first time on a series of 159 adult patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), for detection of the t(12;21)(p13;q22) translocation. Seven patients (4.4%) were found, with 50-100% of positive cells, of whom one of two tested, proved negative for the fusion product by RT-PCR. Two of them, aged 43 and 50 years, are the oldest patients so far confirmed to have the translocation. Three who relapsed at 10, 11 and 24 months, suggest that adults may not enjoy the good short-term prognosis reported for t(12;21)-positive children. Thirty-one-negative cases had signal numbers differing from the two expected for each gene. In 15 cases these results were consistent with the karyotype. In nine cases with uninformative cytogenetics, the numbers were consistent with those for centromeres and indicated a hidden aneuploidy. Loss of ETV6 genes in two cases and AML1 amplification in three others were not suspected from the cytogenetics. In conclusion, FISH proved to be reliable in defining ETV6/AML1 positivity in this group of patients as well as providing valuable insights into negative cases.
