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

aimsTo develop immunoglobulin heavy chain variable (VH) gene probes that are shorter and more flexible in position for monitoring minimal residual disease (MRD) in childhood leukaemia (ALL), using minor groove binder (MGB) technology.

methodsAll VH germline sequences registered in the database were aligned and the consensus regions were determined. The reliability of the MGB probes was compared with non-MGB probes in all 24 cases of ALL.

resultsTen MGB probes (16 to 18 mers) were designed that enabled all the germline sequences on the database to be analysed, whereas the conventional non-MGB probes (21 to 27 mers) did not allow the analysis of four of the VH1 and five of the VH3 germline sequences. The sequencing results in five of the 24 cases of ALL were not matched to the non-MGB probes.

conclusionsMGB technology allows shorter probes to be designed, enabling MRD to be detected in childhood ALL. This would provide a considerable reduction in cost for a large MRD study.
