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 previously reported that the cell adhesion molecule 1 (CADM1) versus CD7 plot in flow cytometry reflects disease progression in human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) infection. In CD4(+) cells from peripheral blood, CADM1(-) CD7(+) (P), CADM1(+) CD7(dim) (D) and CADM1(+) CD7(-) (N) subpopulations are observed. The D and N subpopulations increase as asymptomatic HTLV-1 carriers (AC) progress to indolent adult T-cell leukemia-lymphoma (ATL) and the N subpopulation then expands in aggressive ATL. In the present study we examined whether the analysis can estimate the risk of developing ATL in advanced AC. Peripheral blood samples from AC (N = 41) and indolent ATL patients (N = 19) were analyzed by flow cytometry using the CADM1 versus CD7 plot for CD4(+) cells and inverse long PCR (clonality analysis) of FACS-sorted subpopulations. Almost all AC with a high HTLV-1 proviral load (>4 copies/100 cells) had a CADM1(+) (D + N) frequency of >10%. AC with 25% < CADM1(+) ≤ 50% contained expanded clones similar to smoldering-type ATL. In many patients in the 25% < CADM1(+) ≤ 50% group, the proportion of abnormal lymphocytes was distributed around the 5% line, which divides AC and smoldering-type ATL in Shimoyama's classification. In conclusion, the CADM1 versus CD7 plot is useful for selection of putative high-risk AC. The characteristics of some AC and smoldering ATL are said to be similar; however, long-term follow up is required and the clinical outcome (e.g. rate of transformation) of these cases should be used to determine whether to include them in the same clinical category.
