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

Chromosome 5 abnormalities, deletion of the long arm of chromosome 5 (del(5q)) or monosomy 5 (-5), arise in about 10% of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), either as the sole cytogenetic abnormality or as part of complicated karyotype, and has distinct clinical implications for MDS. However, the prognostic factors of MDS patients with chromosome 5 abnormalities are not determined yet. In this study, 183 Japanese MDS patients with chromosome 5 abnormalities were analyzed. Estimated incidence of del(5q) and 5q- syndrome among MDS patients was 8.4 and 1.3%, respectively. Significant shorter overall survival (OS) and leukemia-free survival (LFS) were observed in -5 patients than del(5q) patients. Among del(5q) patients, addition of monosomy 7 or complex karyotype with more than three abnormalities were significantly related to shorter OS. LFS of del(5q) patients was divided into two risk groups by international prognostic scoring system (IPSS): low/intermediate (Int)-1 and Int-2/high groups. LFS sorted by World Health Organization classification-based prognostic scoring system (WPSS) was also divided into two groups: very low/low/Int and high/very high, and WPSS was able to predict the outcome of del(5q) patients more clearly than IPSS. Together with additional cytogenetic data, WPSS might be useful for clinical decision making in MDS patients with del(5q).
