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

backgroundJanus kinase 2 (JAK2) plays an important role in normal hematopoietic growth factor signaling. The detection of the JAK2 V617F mutation (c.1849GNT, GTC → TTC) is crucial for the diagnosis of myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) and has become the essential criteria for diagnosis of MPN by the WHO. High-resolution melt (HRM) curve analysis is a nongel-based, closed-tube method, in which PCR amplification and subsequent analysis are sequentially performed in the well, making it more convenient than other scanning methodologies.

methodsWe evaluated JAK2 V617F mutation by HRM. Twenty-nine patients diagnosed with MPN were examined. We studied the analytical sensitivity of the HRM analysis using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for identifying the JAK2 V617F mutation. Additionally, the sensitivity of HRM analysis and allele-specific PCR (AS-PCR) assay was compared.

resultsThe JAK2 V617F mutation was successfully discriminated at an abundance of 6% or above in HRM analysis. Both HRM analysis and AS-PCR showed 100% accuracy with detection limits of 6% and 2.5%, respectively.

conclusionHRM analysis is a fast, simple, reliable, and nonexpensive method for the detection of the JAK2 V617F mutation. However, more validation of the detection limits of HRM analysis should be performed before declaration of the analytic sensitivity of the method.
