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

backgroundMyelomonocytic skewing is considered as a key pathophysiologic phenomenon in chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML), but its prevalence and potential correlation with phenotypic, genotypic, and clinical features are poorly defined.

methodsSkewed differentiation toward the myelomonocytic over erythroid commitment as indicated by an inverse ratio of myelomonocytic/erythroid colonies was investigated in 146 patients with CMML by semisolid in vitro cultures.

resultsThere was a high prevalence of myelomonocytic skewing in patients with CMML (120/146, 82%); whereas, this phenomenon was rare in normal individuals (1/98, 1%). Patients with CMML with myelomonocytic skewing had higher white blood cell and peripheral blast cell counts, and lower platelet values. The number of mutations in genes of the epigenetic and/or splicing category was higher in CMML patients with as compared with patients without skewing. Patients with myelomonocytic skewing had more frequently mutations in RASopathy genes and higher growth factor independent myeloid colony formation. Interestingly, the lack of myelomonocytic skewing discriminated patients with CMML with a particularly favorable prognosis (60 vs 19 months, P = .003) and a minimal risk of transformation.

conclusionMyelomonocytic skewing as determined by semisolid cultures can discriminate subgroups of patients with CMML with a different phenotype, a different genotype, and a different prognosis.
