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

Wilms' tumor 1 (WT1) is overexpressed in various hematopoietic tumors and widely used as a marker of minimal residual disease. WT1 mRNA has been analyzed using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (real-time PCR). In the present study, we analyzed 40 peripheral blood and bone marrow samples obtained from cases of acute myeloid leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and myelodysplastic syndrome at Sapporo Medical University Hospital from April 2012 to January 2015. We performed quantification of WT1 was performed using QuantStudio 3D Digital PCR System (Thermo Fisher Scientific‎) and compared the results between digital PCR and real-time PCR technology. The correlation between digital PCR and real-time PCR was very strong (R = 0.99), and the detection limits of the two methods were equivalent. Digital PCR was able to accurately detect lower WT levels compared with real-time PCR. Digital PCR technology can thus be utilized to predict WT1/ABL1 expression level accurately and should thus be useful for diagnosis or the evaluation of drug efficiency in patients with leukemia.
