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 polymorphism rs16754 of the WT1 gene has been described as a possible prognostic marker in different acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cohorts; however, it is not supported by all the studies. We performed the first meta-analysis evaluating the effect of this polymorphism upon the effectiveness of standard AML therapy. Fourteen cohort studies were included (3618 patients). Patients with the variant allele showed a significant higher overall survival (OS) at 5 years (OR:1.24, 95% CI: 1.06-1.45, P=0.007, with dominant model). WT1 did not influence complete remission, but a higher disease-free survival was observed with the variant allele. In the subgroup analysis, Caucasians, pediatric and patients treated with idarubicin and etoposide carrying the variant allele showed consistent results in OS, whereas patients with cytogenetically normal AML did not show differences. To verify the effect of this polymorphism upon other outcomes, studies in larger and multiracial populations are needed.
