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

We studied 1696 patients (18 to 61 years) with acute myeloid leukemia for ASXL1 mutations and identified these mutations in 103 (6.1%) patients. ASXL1 mutations were associated with older age (P<0.0001), male sex (P=0.041), secondary acute myeloid leukemia (P<0.0001), and lower values for bone marrow (P<0.0001) and circulating (P<0.0001) blasts. ASXL1 mutations occurred in all cytogenetic risk-groups; normal karyotype (40%), other intermediate-risk cytogenetics (26%), high-risk (24%) and low-risk (10%) cytogenetics. ASXL1 mutations were associated with RUNX1 (P<0.0001) and IDH2(R140) mutations (P=0.007), whereas there was an inverse correlation with NPM1 (P<0.0001), FLT3-ITD (P=0.0002), and DNMT3A (P=0.02) mutations. Patients with ASXL1 mutations had a lower complete remission rate (56% versus 74%; P=0.0002), and both inferior event-free survival (at 5 years: 15.9% versus 29.0%; P=0.02) and overall survival (at 5 years: 30.3% versus 45.7%; P=0.0004) compared to patients with wildtype ASXL1. In multivariable analyses, ASXL1 and RUNX1 mutation as a single variable did not have a significant impact on prognosis. However, we observed a significant interaction (P=0.04) for these mutations, in that patients with the genotype ASXL1(mutated)/RUNX1(mutated) had a higher risk of death (hazard ratio 1.8) compared to patients without this genotype. ASXL1 mutation, particularly in the context of a coexisting RUNX1 mutation, constitutes a strong adverse prognostic factor in acute myeloid leukemia.
