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

Hypereosinophilia (HE) has been defined as persistent eosinophilia >1.5 × 109/L; it is broadly divided into primary HE (clonal or neoplastic; HEN), secondary/reactive HE (HER), or HE of undetermined significance (HEUS) when no cause is identified. The use of myeloid next-generation sequencing (NGS) panels has led to the detection of several mutations in patients previously diagnosed with HEUS, reassigning some patients to the category of HEN, specifically the World Health Organization category of chronic eosinophilic leukemia, not otherwise specified (CEL, NOS). Here, we describe a novel somatic JAK1 pseudokinase domain mutation (R629_S632delinsSA) in a patient with HE that had initially been characterized as a variant of uncertain significance. We performed functional studies that demonstrated that this mutation results in growth factor independence of Ba/F3 cells in vitro and activation of the JAK-STAT pathway. These effects were abrogated by the JAK1/JAK2 inhibitor ruxolitinib. R629_S632delinsSA is the first known somatic mutation in JAK1 linked to a clonal eosinophilic neoplasm, and highlights the importance of the JAK-STAT pathway in eosinophil survival.
