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

backgroundETV6-ACSL6 is a fusion gene rarely reported in myeloid malignancies, and its clinical characteristics, proper treatment strategies, and effect on prognosis are poorly understood.

resultsSixteen patients with the ETV6-ACSL6 fusion gene were identified, with a median age of 50 years. Twelve patients were male. Clinical diagnoses included chronic eosinophilic leukemia, not otherwise specified, acute myeloid leukemia, and other types of myeloproliferative and myelodysplastic disorders. Ten out of 12 patients had increased levels of eosinophils, and four out of five had increased levels of basophils in peripheral blood. Treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors was ineffective. The prognosis of the patients was poor, with seven patients dying within 1 year.

conclusionsPatients with the ETV6-ACSL6 fusion gene mainly present with myeloproliferative and myelodysplastic disorders, typically with increased eosinophils and/or basophils and poor survival. Intensive therapies such as allogenic stem cell transplantation should be an initial consideration for eligible patients.
