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

Using nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) a gene rearrangement named tal-1 deletion was found in five of 56 leukemic bone marrow samples from children with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The DNA sequences of the PCR fragments consisted of the known conserved germline sequences in addition to short DNA insertions at the breakpoint region, which were different in each patient. Moreover, one patient was examined at diagnosis and at relapse 11 months later, revealing identical DNA sequences at the rearrangement site. The recombination site of the tal rearrangement therefore may be used as a genetic marker for detecting minimal residual disease in about 10% of T-cell ALL in childhood.
