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

RAS pathway alterations have been implicated in the pathogenesis of various hematological malignancies. However, their clinical relevance in pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is not well characterized. We analyzed the frequency, clinical significance, and prognostic relevance of RAS pathway alterations in 328 pediatric patients with de novo AML. RAS pathway alterations were detected in 80 (24.4%) of 328 patients: NF1 (n=7, 2.1%), PTPN11 (n=15, 4.6%), CBL (n=6, 1.8%), NRAS (n=44, 13.4%), KRAS (n=12, 3.7%). Most of these alterations in the RAS pathway were mutually exclusive also together with other aberrations of signal transduction pathways such as FLT3-ITD (P=0.001) and KIT mutation (P=0.004). NF1 alterations were frequently detected in patients with complex karyotype (P=0.031) and were found to be independent predictors of poor overall survival (OS) in multivariate analysis (P=0.007). At least four of seven patients with NF1 alterations had biallelic inactivation. NRAS mutations were frequently observed in patients with CBFB-MYH11 and were independent predictors of favorable outcomes in multivariate analysis (OS, P=0.023; event-free survival [EFS], P=0.037). Patients with PTPN11 mutations more frequently received stem cell transplantation (P=0.035) and showed poor EFS than patients without PTPN11 mutations (P=0.013). Detailed analysis of RAS pathway alterations may enable a more accurate prognostic stratification of pediatric AML and may provide novel therapeutic molecular targets related to this signal transduction pathway.
