Combined normal donor and CLL: Single tube ZAP-70 analysis.

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.
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
introductionZeta-chain-associated protein kinase 70 (ZAP-70) has been identified as an independent prognostic marker in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Based on our previous studies, we have developed a combined one-tube technology with multiple internal controls to optimize ZAP-70 assessment.
methodsForty-eight untreated CLL cases were examined for ZAP-70 expression using a modified 7-color one-tube assay. Normal donor (ND) whole blood is stained with CD3 APC-Cy7 and CD19 APC. In a second tube, patient whole blood is stained with CD5 PE-Cy7, CD19 PerCP-Cy5.5, and CD20 eFluor450. After surface staining and fixation, these two tubes are combined. After saponin permeabilization, the cells were stained with two anti-ZAP-70 clones (1E7.2/AF488 and SBZAP/PE). The results obtained from this modified tube were compared with those obtained concurrently using the non-mixed single sample tubes. Five different methods of ZAP-70 expression analysis were evaluated: percentage positive cells using ND T-cells as a reference; the internal patient T-cell/clone ratio; ND T-cell/clone ratio; clone/ND B-cell ratio; and modified Z-index.
resultOverall, the combined patient and ND mix tube performed better than the non-mixed single sample tube. The strongest correlations between ZAP-70 expression and immunoglobulin heavy chain variable (IGHV) mutational status were seen with percentage positive ND T-cell, ND T-cell/clone ratio, and clone/ND B-cell ratio for both 1E7.2 and SBZAP clone (P < 0.0001).
conclusionThe modified one tube method combining the ND and patient sample provides highly reliable results that correlate with the IGHV mutational status. This method should be considered as part of the next step in standardization of the ZAP-70 assay in CLL.
