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

We aimed to investigate the rate of MEFV, the gene mutated in familial Mediterranean fever, mutations in patients with myeloid neoplasm and to determine if known mutations of MEFV cause a tendency for myeloid neoplasms. The frequency of the five most common MEFV gene mutations (M694V, M680I, V726A, E148Q and M694I) was determined in 26 patients with myeloid neoplasm. We identified 1 homozygous (E148Q/E148Q), 1 compound heterozygous (M694V/E148Q) and 5 heterozygous MEFV gene mutations; none had their own and/or family history compatible with familial Mediterranean fever. The mean overall mutation rate was 0.269. We found a high frequency of carriers in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (66.6%), polycythemia vera (33.3%) and acute myeloid leukemia (28.6%). However, there was no MEFV gene mutation in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia. In conclusion, this study reports for the first time a possibly high prevalence of MEFV gene mutations in patients with myeloid neoplasm, especially myelodysplastic syndrome, polycythemia vera and acute myeloid leukemia. Our findings could open new perspectives for MEFV gene mutations in myeloid neoplasms and its association with tumor promotion. Further research is needed to determine the actual role of MEFV gene mutations in these malignancies.
