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

Nucleophosmin 1 (NPM1) mutations have been identified in a substantial number of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Favorable outcomes in AML cases with NPM1 mutations have been previously reported. However, widely differing survival estimates have been indicated. Therefore, a meta-analysis of nine studies including a total of 4509 subjects was performed. The frequency of NPM1 mutations was found to be 6.45-56.08%. NPM1-mutation type (NPM1-mt) patients had >2-fold higher odds of achieving complete remission compared with NPM1-wild-type (NPM1-wt). The summary hazard ratio (HR) of NPM1-mt/NPM1-wt for disease-free survival (DFS) and OS was 0.67 and 0.63, respectively. In conclusion, these findings suggest that the NPM1 mutation has a favorable effect on the outcome for AML. The present meta-analysis was based on data abstracted from observational studies. However, the results obtained may justify the risk-adapted therapeutic strategies for AML according to the NPM1 status.
