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

An 87-year-old woman was diagnosed with unclassified myeloproliferative disease having an acquired jumping translocation with the long arm of chromosome 3 translocating to the short arm telomeric region of chromosome 8 (major clone) and the long arm telomeric region of chromosome 10 (minor clone). Each abnormal clone was also associated with an extra copy of chromosome 8. Although there was no evidence of transformation to an acute leukemia, the patient deteriorated until her demise 7 months after disease presentation. There have been fewer than 70 cases of acquired jumping translocations reported in the literature. To our knowledge, this is the first acquired jumping translocation case to be reported in a patient with myeloproliferative disease.
