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

Background: The frequency and pattern of mutation in SF3B1 and SRSF2 RNA splicing machinery genes were found to vary among myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) patients in different populations. There have been less reports of incidence of these gene mutations in Thailand especially in upper northern Thailand. This study therefore had aims to investigate the frequency and pattern of mutation in mutational hotspot of SF3B1 and SRSF2 genes among MDS patients in upper northern Thailand and to investigate the clinical features associated with the mutations. Methods: Fifty-five MDS patients who underwent treatment at Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai Hospital participated in this study. The detection of SF3B1 and SRSF2 hotspot mutations was carried out using polymerase chain reaction followed by Sanger sequencing. In addition, clinical features of individual patients with these gene mutations were also investigated. Results: SF3B1 mutations (SF3B1mut) were found in 9 patients (16.4%) including E622D (1/9), R625C (1/9), H662Q (1/9), K700E (5/9), and Q699H co-mutation with K700E (1/9). SRSF2 mutations (SRSF2mut) were found in 4 patients (7.3%) which included P95H (3/4) and P95L (1/4). The SF3B1mut was associated with lower hemoglobin levels (p = 0.023) and higher platelet counts (p = 0.047) when compared with MDS patients without SF3B1mut, while SRSF2mut tended to occur in patients with a higher percentage of bone marrow blasts (p = 0.074). Conclusion: The findings confirmed the difference in frequency of SF3B1 and SRSF2 mutations among different populations. Specifically, we found a co-mutation of Q699H and K700E that has not been previously reported in MDS patients in the COSMIC database. It was also found that SF3B1mut was strongly associated with low hemoglobin level, and high platelet counts whereas SRSF2mut was mostly clustered in MDS with excess blasts subsequently increasing the probability of progression to acute myeloid leukemia.
