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

purpose of reviewGATA2 deficiency is a germline disease that causes a wide spectrum of phenotypes including viral and bacterial infections, cytopenias, myelodysplasia, myeloid leukemias, pulmonary alveolar proteinosis and lymphedema. The age of clinical presentation ranges from early childhood to late adulthood, with most occurring in adolescence to early adulthood. We review the expanding GATA2-deficient phenotype, molecular genetics of disease and developments in treatment. RECENT

findingsGATA2 mutations have been found in up to 10% of those with congenital neutropenia and/or aplastic anemia. Heterozygous mutations appear to cause haploinsufficiency due to either protein dysfunction or uniallelic reduced transcription. Disease-associated mutations in intronic regulatory elements or variations within the 5' leader exons indicate that regulation of GATA2 is critical. Those with GATA2 mutations are at high risk for myelodysplasia, cytogenetic abnormalities, acute myeloid leukemia or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia. Bone marrow transplantation has been successful for both hematopoietic and pulmonary alveolar proteinosis repair. SUMMARY: GATA2 is a zinc finger transcription factor essential for embryonic and definitive hematopoiesis as well as lymphatic angiogenesis. GATA2 deficiency is caused by a variety of mutations in the GATA2 gene and can have variable presentation, onset and outcome. Patients are susceptible to mycobacterial, viral and fungal infections and can develop myelodysplasia, acute or chronic leukemias, lymphedema and pulmonary alveolar proteinosis. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation reverses most of the clinical phenotype with good long-term outcomes.
