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

objectivesMyeloid proliferative disorders associated with Down syndrome (MPD-DS), including transient abnormal myelopoiesis and myeloid leukemia associated with Down syndrome (DS), harbor mutations of GATA1, a transcription factor essential for erythroid and megakaryocytic development. These mutations result in a N-terminally truncated GATA1 (GATA1s) and prohibit the production of the full-length GATA1 (GATA1f). Here, we demonstrate the utility of immunohistochemical GATA1f reactivity in diagnosing MPD-DS.

methodsImmunohistochemical studies for GATA1f expression were performed on bone marrow biopsy specimens.

resultsIn all cases of MPD-DS, megakaryocytes lacked GATA1f expression. In contrast, GATA1f expression was detected in megakaryocytes in all specimen types from patients without DS (normal bone marrows, pediatric myelodysplastic syndrome, juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia, adult acute megakaryocytic leukemia [pediatric and adult; without trisomy 2]), as well as normal bone marrows from patients with DS.

conclusionsThe lack of GATA1f expression is a sensitive and specific immunohistochemical marker for MPD-DS.
