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

Current diagnostic standards for lymphoproliferative disorders include multiple tests for detection of clonal immunoglobulin (IG) and/or T-cell receptor (TCR) rearrangements, translocations, copy-number alterations (CNAs), and somatic mutations. The EuroClonality-NGS DNA Capture (EuroClonality-NDC) assay was designed as an integrated tool to characterize these alterations by capturing IGH switch regions along with variable, diversity, and joining genes of all IG and TCR loci in addition to clinically relevant genes for CNA and mutation analysis. Diagnostic performance against standard-of-care clinical testing was assessed in a cohort of 280 B- and T-cell malignancies from 10 European laboratories, including 88 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded samples and 21 reactive lesions. DNA samples were subjected to the EuroClonality-NDC protocol in 7 EuroClonality-NGS laboratories and analyzed using a bespoke bioinformatic pipeline. The EuroClonality-NDC assay detected B-cell clonality in 191 (97%) of 197 B-cell malignancies and T-cell clonality in 71 (97%) of 73 T-cell malignancies. Limit of detection (LOD) for IG/TCR rearrangements was established at 5% using cell line blends. Chromosomal translocations were detected in 145 (95%) of 152 cases known to be positive. CNAs were validated for immunogenetic and oncogenetic regions, highlighting their novel role in confirming clonality in somatically hypermutated cases. Single-nucleotide variant LOD was determined as 4% allele frequency, and an orthogonal validation using 32 samples resulted in 98% concordance. The EuroClonality-NDC assay is a robust tool providing a single end-to-end workflow for simultaneous detection of B- and T-cell clonality, translocations, CNAs, and sequence variants.
