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 discovery of the activating V617F mutation in the JAK2 tyrosine kinase in a high proportion of patients with Ph- chronic myeloproliferative diseases (CMPD) represents a diagnostic breakthrough for these disorders. Trephine bone marrow biopsy is an essential part of the diagnostic workup of CMPD and represents a valuable archival source of DNA. Therefore, we studied 152 paraffin-embedded trephines with CMPD and related disorders for the presence of the V617F mutation, using both allele-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and nested PCR with subsequent digestion with BsaXI. Only 6 of 152 (4%) samples were not evaluable because of poor DNA quality. The V617F mutation was detected in 27 of 28 (96%) cases of polycythemia vera, 17 of 23 (74%) cases of essential thrombocythemia, 28 of 45 (62%) cases of chronic idiopathic myelofibrosis, six of eight (75%) cases of CMPD unclassified, and two of four (50%) cases of myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative syndrome. Ph+ chronic myelogenous leukemia (four cases), reactive (secondary) erythrocytosis (14 cases), and thrombocytosis (one case) as well as normal controls (19 cases) all lacked the V617F mutation. Based on results of BsaXI digestion and sequencing, 24 of 54 (44%) evaluable V617F+ cases were considered homozygously mutated. Thus, detection of the V617F JAK2 mutation is feasible in paraffin-embedded trephine biopsies and represents a major advance in the diagnostic evaluation of CMPD.
