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

backgroundBCOR (BCL6 corepressor) is an epigenetic regulator gene involved in the specification of cell differentiation and body structure development. Recurrent somatic BCOR mutations have been identified in myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). However, the clinical impact of BCOR mutations on MDS prognosis is controversial and the response of hypomethylating agents in MDS with BCOR mutations (BCOR

resultsAmong 676 MDS patients, 43 patients (6.4%) harbored BCOR mutations. A higher frequency of BCOR mutations (8.7%) was investigated in patients with normal chromosome, compared to 4.2% in patients with abnormal karyotype (p = 0.040). Compared to the BCOR

conclusionsBCOR mutations occur more frequently in CN MDS patients, predicting higher risk of leukemia transformation. BCOR
