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

Sjogren's syndrome (SS) is a chronic autoimmune disorder with the highest risk for lymphoma development among all autoimmune diseases. In order to evaluate whether the presence of the recently described MYD88 L265P mutation in patients with Waldenström's macroglobulinemia (WM) is contributory to SS-associated lymphomagenesis, a quantitative allele-specific PCR method was performed in peripheral blood derived from 90 SS patients as well as in minor salivary gland tissues derived from 12 primary SS patients with or without lymphoma. MYD88 L265P was not detected in either of the samples tested. Although the absence of the MyD88 L265P somatic mutation in our SS cohort does not exclude a common germline susceptibility gene in SS, it might suggest a distinct operating pathogenetic mechanism in SS-related lymphoma compared with WM and other hematological malignancies.
