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 report the case of a 26 year-old patient presenting with a persistent leukocytosis and CML-like marrow but no evidence of a BCR/ABL1 fusion. Molecular cytogenetics revealed that a portion of the ETV6 locus was inserted into the ABL1 locus. An ETV6/ABL1 fusion transcript could subsequently be confirmed. The patient was started on imatinib and went into complete cytomorphological remission. QRT-PCR measurements showed a 4 log reduction of the ETV6/ABL1 fusion. 15 months later, the disease transformed into ALL and the patient expired. Thus, an ETV6/ABL1 fusion positive MPN has the potential to transform very rapidly into ALL.
