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

Hypermethylation of the distal CEBPA promoter region has been reported to result in the downregulation of CEBPA expression in several malignancies. However, the clinical implication of CEBPA hypermethylation in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remains unclear. To investigate the correlation between CEBPA hypermethylation and clinical features in AML, quantitative MassARRAY analyses for CEBPA methylation status were performed on a cohort of 193 patients. High CEBPA methylation group (CEBPA(high-meth), n=28) and low methylation group (CEBPA(low-meth), n=165) were defined by using two-way hierarchical clustering. With a median follow-up of 48 months, among the 125 patients receiving standard induction therapy, CEBPA(high-meth) was associated with better treatment response (complete remission rate 93.3% versus 73.6%, P=0.116). In patients with normal karyotype and without CEBPA and NPM1 mutations, the CEBPA(high-meth) had longer overall survival (OS) than the CEBPA(low-meth) (P=0.028). Multivariate analysis further supported that the CEBPA methylation was an independent prognostic factor for disease free-survival (hazard ratio=0.416; 95% confidence interval, 0.223-0.777, P=0.006) and OS (hazard ratio=0.406; 95% confidence interval, 0.166-0.996, P=0.050). We conclude that CEBPA methylation status is a useful prognostic biomarker for AML patients.
