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

backgroundImmunosuppressive therapy (IST) yields durable hematologic improvement (HI) in a subset of patients with lower-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Age, human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DR15 positivity, and duration of transfusion dependence are putative clinical variables predictive for response. We investigated the effect of somatic gene mutations on response to IST in lower-risk MDS. PATIENTS AND

methodsForty of 66 patients who received antithymocyte globulin with or without cyclosporine A identified at the Moffitt Cancer Center were molecularly profiled using a 49-gene myeloid panel. All patients profiled received antithymocyte globulin, and cyclosporine A was provided to 60% of patients.

resultsThe overall frequency of HI was 42%. Presence of a large granular lymphocytic clone, hypocellular bone marrow, HLA-DR15 positivity, trisomy 8, and age had no influence on response to IST. Among 40 patients evaluated by next-generation sequencing, the presence of an SF3B1 mutation (MT) was significantly associated with IST nonresponse (1 of 9 SF3B1 MT, 11% vs. 21 of 31 wild type, 68%; P = .002). All patients with SF3B1 MT had ring sideroblasts > 15% (RS) by morphology; the corresponding HI rate was 20% among patients with RS versus 50% for those without RS (P = .09).

conclusionThese findings support the clinical implementation of genomics in MDS. The presence of an SF3B1 mutation adversely influences response to IST and should be incorporated into treatment decisions upon validation of these findings.
