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

backgroundHematopoietic neoplasms with chromosomal translocations involving JAK2 are rare, and most of them show myeloproliferative neoplasm-associated features, followed by B-acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). De novo B-ALL cases with JAK2 rearrangements are suggested to be appropriately considered as BCR-ABL1-like B-ALL, but its partners varied.

methodsFluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq), whole-genome sequencing, and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) were performed to identify the pathogenic fusion gene in a 29-year-old woman with relapsed B-ALL and rare t(1;9)(p13;p22) translocation.

resultsWe identified RNPC3 as a new JAK2 fusion partner in the patient. She was treated with a combination of chemotherapy and targeted drug ruxolitinib and chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy, but failed to achieve complete remission. She had no chance to undergo allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and died of disease progression 7 months after the initial diagnosis. Her clinical course demonstrated that this novel RNPC3-JAK2 fusion might portend an unfavorable prognosis.

conclusionThis finding adds to the expanding compendium of JAK2 fusions found in B-ALL and suggests the potential need for a diagnostic FISH analysis as well as RNA-Seq in the appropriate clinical setting.
