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

In a retrospective single center study we determined the time course of the JAK2-V617F or JAK2 exon 12 allele burden in DNA from purified granulocytes from 48 patients with myeloproliferative disorders. The percentage of change between the first and last sample in JAK2-V617F positive patients without cytoreductive therapy (n=16) was only +9% during a follow-up of 36+/-13 months, reflecting a remarkably stable mutant allele burden. When treatment with hydroxyurea was initiated during the course of the study, we observed a significant decrease of the JAK2-V617F allele burden (n=6). However, in JAK2-V617F positive patients who were already on hydroxyurea treatment before the first blood sampling (n=14), we observed stable allelic ratios with a variance of only +3% during a follow-up of 34+/-16 months. Our data suggest that in untreated myeloproliferative disorders patients, from whom samples at diagnosis are not available, the JAK2 allele burden determined at later stages could be equally informative.
