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

BRAF protooncogene is an important mediator of cell proliferation and survival signals. BRAF p.V600E mutation was recently described as a molecular marker of hairy cell leukemia (HCL). We developed and validated a pyrosequencing-based approach that covers BRAF mutational hotspots in exons 11 (codon 468) and 15 (codons 595 to 600). The assay detects BRAF mutations at an analytical sensitivity of 5%. We screened 16 unenriched archived bone marrow aspirate samples from patients with a diagnosis of HCL (n = 12) and hairy cell leukemia-variant (HCL-v) (n = 4) using pyrosequencing. BRAF p.V600E mutation was present in all HCL cases and absent in all HCL-v. Our data support the recent finding that BRAF p.V600E mutation is universally present in HCL. Moreover, our pyrosequencing-based assay provides a convenient, rapid, sensitive, and quantitative tool for the detection of BRAF p.V600E mutations in HCL for clinical diagnostic testing.
