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

Karyotyping along with a 3-probe fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) strategy was used to risk stratify therapy in 303 children with B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. Of the 166 patients risk stratified, karyotype identified 91 (55%). FISH identified all karyotypes accurately, with the exception of hypodiploidy, and risk stratified an additional 75 patients. The frequency of ETV6-RUNX1 is lower and high hyperdiploidy, higher than reported in the west. An adapted 3-probe FISH strategy identified two patients with ETV6-ABL1 fusion who received imatinib. In limited-resource settings, a 3-probe FISH approach provides a practical approach for risk-stratified therapy in childhood ALL.
