Review in Journal of clinical oncology : official journal of the American Society of Clinical Oncology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 57 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Development of hematologic malignancies is driven by mutations that may be somatic or germline. Availability of next-generation DNA sequencing technologies has facilitated the development of individualized diagnostic evaluations and tailored treatment strategies. Until now, such personalized medical approaches have largely centered on prognostic stratification and treatment strategies informed by acquired somatic mutations. The role of germline mutations in children and adults with hematologic malignancies was previously underappreciated. Diagnosis of an inherited predisposition to hematologic malignancy informs choice of therapy, risk of treatment-related complications, donor selection for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, evaluation of comorbidities, and surveillance strategies to improve clinical outcomes. The recognition that patients with inherited hematologic malignancy syndromes may present without classic clinical stigmata or suspicious family history has led to increased reliance on genetic testing, which, in turn, has raised new diagnostic challenges. Genomic testing is a rapidly evolving field with an increasing number of choices for testing for the practicing clinician to navigate. This review will discuss general approaches to diagnosis and management of patients with germline predisposition to hematology malignancies and will consider applications and limitations of genomic testing in clinical practice.
