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

T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) results from deregulation of a number of genes via multiple genomic mechanisms. We designed a comprehensive fluorescence in situ hybridization (CI-FISH) assay that consists of genomic probes to simultaneously investigate oncogenes and oncosuppressors recurrently involved in chromosome rearrangements in T-ALL, which was applied to 338 T-ALL cases. CI-FISH provided genetic classification into one of the well-defined genetic subgroups (ie, TAL/LMO, HOXA, TLX3, TLX1, NKX2-1/2-2, or MEF2C) in 80% of cases. Two patients with translocations of the LMO3 transcription factor were identified, suggesting that LMO3 activation may serve as an alternative to LMO1/LMO2 activation in the pathogenesis of this disease. Moreover, intrachromosomal rearrangements that involved the 10q24 locus were found as a new mechanism of TLX1 activation. An unequal distribution of cooperating genetic defects was found among the six genetic subgroups. Interestingly, deletions that targeted TCF7 or TP53 were exclusively found in HOXA T-ALL, LEF1 defects were prevalent in NKX2-1 rearranged patients, CASP8AP2 and PTEN alterations were significantly enriched in TAL/LMO leukemias, and PTPN2 and NUP214-ABL1 abnormalities occurred in TLX1/TLX3. This work convincingly shows that CI-FISH is a powerful tool to define genetic heterogeneity of T-ALL, which may be applied as a rapid and accurate diagnostic test.
