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

The fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) gene is a member of the class III receptor tyrosine kinase family. Mutations of FLT3 were first described in 1997 and account for the most frequent molecular mutations in acute myeloid leukemia. Currently, there is no published data on FLT3 mutations in Saudi acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients. In this retrospective study, we have examined a cohort of 77 ALL patients to determine the prevalence of FLT3 mutations and the possible prognostic relevance of these mutations in ALL patients. Correlations to other biologic factors such as karyotype, molecular mutations, and leukocyte count were also considered. FLT3 internal tandem duplication (ITD) mutations and point mutation in tyrosine kinase domain (D835) were analyzed in ALL patients, at diagnosis, by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Two cases (2.6%, 2/77) were positive for FLT3 mutations; one was found to have FLT3/ITD and the other FLT3/D835. Our findings suggest that FLT3 mutations are not common in Saudi ALL and do not affect clinical outcome.
