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

Clonality is a frequently exploited characteristic of lymphoid malignancies. However, in the natural killer (NK) cell subset of large granular lymphocyte proliferations, clonality is difficult to prove because of the lack of specific genetic markers, such as immunoglobulin or T-cell receptor gene rearrangements. The human androgen receptor (HUMARA) assay, a polymerase chain reaction-based X-chromosome inactivation assay, is a potential diagnostic tool in these disorders. Although there is much experience with X-chromosome inactivation assays in myeloid proliferations, these assays have found only very limited application in clonality assessment of NK cell proliferations. We applied the HUMARA assay in laboratory diagnostics for detection of clonality in NK cell proliferations. We describe its test performance and report three cases in which clonality of NK cell populations was investigated by use of this assay. Our results demonstrate the usefulness of the HUMARA assay in the diagnostic workup of NK cell proliferations.
