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

Mutations in FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) gene occur frequently in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and are rare in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). We aimed to analyze the incidence and characteristics of FLT3 mutations in ALL. Amplicon-targeted next-generation sequencing of 58 genes was performed on 1571 patients (AML, n = 829; ALL, n = 742). FLT3 mutations were identified in 5.12% (38/742) of ALL patients. Four types of FLT3 mutations were disclosed, including internal tandem duplication (ITD), tyrosine kinase domain (TKD), juxtamembrane insertion and deletion (JM-INDEL), and juxtamembrane point mutation (JM-PM), which were respectively identified in 1.21, 1.89, 0.67, and 1.89% of patients. The incidence of FLT3-JM-PM (1.89 vs 0.48%, P = 0.009) and the proportion of TKD non-D835 mutations that accounted for the total TKD mutations (57.14 vs 18.18%, P = 0.013) were significantly higher in ALL when compared with AML. FLT3-JM-INDEL were mainly found in B-ALL. In addition, FLT3-JM-INDEL and FLT3-JM-PM were first reported in patients with B-ALL. Patients with FLT3 mutations besides of ITD and/or TKD had a potential response to tyrosine kinase inhibitors. We showed that the mutation spectrum of FLT3 gene in ALL is distinct from AML that will facilitated an in-depth understand of the pathogenesis and provide a guidance for treatment.
