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

introductionVascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) and its kinase insert domain receptor (VEGFR2/KDR) were reported to be upregulated in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML); however, the influence of polymorphisms in VEGFA and VEGFR2 in CML pathogenesis and therapeutic response, have not yet been elucidated.

methodsWe aimed to analyze these polymorphisms in 212 CML patients and 212 healthy controls by the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) approach.

resultsThe VEGFA+936C>T polymorphism did not differ significantly between the CML patients and controls. The frequency of CT genotype was higher in CML patients than in controls (25 vs. 18%), higher in males than in females (29 vs. 18%), was more prevalent in the patients with splenomegaly (p = 0.03), and was negatively associated with lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels (p = 0.01). The frequency of VEGFR2 mutant T-allele was higher in CML patients than controls (p < 0.0001). In the dominant model, patients having the combined AT and TT genotypes were associated with 2.6-fold higher risk of CML [odds ratio (OR) = 2.6, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.71–3.97, p < 0.0001]. VEGFR2 AT genotype was significantly associated with high blast count (p = 0.006), minor hematological response (p = 0.03) and poor cytogenetic response (p = 0.003), indicating its role in therapeutic resistance. In contrast, poor molecular response was observed in patients with TT genotype (p = 0.02). VEGFA+936C>T polymorphism was found to have synergistic interaction with VEGFR2+1416A>T in inflating the risk for CML further (P(interaction) = 0.0002).

conclusionOur results indicate that VEGFR2+1416A>T polymorphism may be a useful marker in assessing the disease progression in CML patients. In addition, VEGFA+936C>T was observed to have additive effect in inflating the risk further.
