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

JAK2 V617F is the most frequently found somatic mutation in polycythemia vera (PV). Among the cases negative for V617F, a significant fraction have a mutation in exon 12 of the JAK2 gene. Several groups have reported that the exon 12 mutations are present in only a small fraction of the blood cells in some patients. We have developed an assay to detect these mutations with an analytical sensitivity of 0.1% by using a "PCR clamp" to inhibit amplification of the normal sequence and enhance amplification of DNA containing a mutation in the clamp target sequence. The products of this reaction were analyzed by capillary electrophoresis to detect deletions, which are the most frequent type of exon 12 mutations, or by nucleotide sequencing to detect all of the mutations. In a survey of 34 specimens from patients with PV or idiopathic erythrocytosis who did not have a JAK2 V617F mutation, we found four with a mutation in exon 12, 3 of 10 with PV, and 1 of 24 with idiopathic erythrocytosis. In two cases the mutation was present in a small fraction of the cells and difficult to detect without the use of the clamp. The use of an assay with increased analytical sensitivity enhances the ability to identify patients with mutations in exon 12 of the JAK2 gene.
