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

Hypomethylating agents (HMAs) are now a major treatment option for myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and related neoplasms, but 50% of patients still do not respond and realize poor outcomes. Mutational predictors of treatment efficacy attract continuous attention. Whether TP53 mutations can be used as predictors of HMA effectiveness has caused heated debate. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis to investigate the predictive value of TP53 mutations to outcomes of HMA therapy in patients with MDS and related neoplasms. We systematically searched PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and the WanFang databases (published deadline: September 12, 2019). The primary endpoints were overall response rate (ORR) and overall survival (OS). Odds ratio (OR), hazard ratio (HR), and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were pooled to estimate the association between TP53 mutations and the clinical efficacy of HMAs. Four hundred fifteen papers were found, and 22 papers were included in this meta-analysis (N = 2020 participants). The results showed that the presence of TP53 mutation predicted an increased overall response rate with HMA treatment in the subsets that restricted patients in de novo disease, MDS by WHO (World Health Organization) criteria, or NGS (next-generation sequence) group (P = 0.005, P = 0.003, P = 0.0005, respectively). However, TP53 mutations remained poor factors for OS (P < 0.00001). Collectively, in HMA therapy, TP53 mutations can predict better ORR when setting more refined subgroups, but TP53 mutations still strongly correlated with poor survival in hypomethylating therapy.
