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

OBJECTIVE/

backgroundTo assess abnormalities found on CD138-enriched fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) studies on pre-treatment bone marrow in systemic amyloid light-chain amyloidosis (AL) and correlate findings between these abnormalities with organ involvement and 1-year survival.

methodsWe reviewed 107 patients with systemic AL to identify the impact of a diagnostic FISH study done on plasma cell-enriched bone marrow in our institution between January 2010 and January 2015; 77 had pre-treatment testing performed.

resultsA total of 77 (61%) patients had abnormal FISH including: hyperdiploidy (29%), t(11;14), (20%), hypodiploidy (16%), t(4;14), (1%), del17p (5%), and+1q21 (5%). Abnormal FISH studies were more likely in those patients with plasma cell involvement≥10% (p=.002). FISH abnormalities were not shown to correlate with stage, cardiac involvement, or survival at 1year. One-year survival was significantly affected by stage at diagnosis and presence of cardiac and hepatic amyloid involvement.

conclusionWe conclude that in AL, FISH abnormalities are associated with clonal burden. We found no impact of these markers on the type of organ involvement or 1-year survival.
