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

New biomarkers with improved accuracy could be helpful for monitoring disease in patients with Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL). Towards this end, we have explored the feasibility of identifying the sequence of rearranged IgH genes using next-generation sequencing, then using PCR to detect specific rearranged DNA fragments in patients' plasma. By capturing and sequencing the IgH genomic regions (IgCap), we were able to detect and precisely determine the sequence of rearranged IgH loci in the tumors of three NHL patients. Moreover, circulating rearranged DNA fragments could be identified in the plasma of all three patients. Even in cases wherein tumor biopsies were unavailable, we were able to use the IgH capture approach to identify rearranged DNA loci in the plasma of 8 of 14 patients. IgCap may enable a more informed management of selected patients with NHL and other B-cell malignancies in the future.
