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

Fusion of the ZNF384 gene as the 3' partner to several different 5' partner genes occurs recurrently in B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic and mixed phenotype B/myeloid leukemia. These canonical fusions (ZNF384r) contain the complete ZNF384 coding sequence and are associated with a specific gene expression signature. Cases with this signature, but without canonical ZNF384 fusions (ZNF384r-like cases), have been described previously. Although some have been shown to harbor ZNF362 fusions, the primary aberrations remain unknown in a major proportion. We studied 3 patients with the ZNF384r signature and unknown primary genetic background and identified a previously unknown class of genetic aberration affecting the last exon of ZNF384 and resulting in disruption of the C-terminal portion of the ZNF384 protein. Importantly, in 2 cases, the ZNF384 aberration, indel, was missed during the bioinformatic analysis but revealed by the manual, targeted reanalysis. Two cases with the novel aberrations had a mixed (B/myeloid) immunophenotype commonly associated with canonical ZNF384 fusions. In conclusion, we present leukemia cases with a novel class of ZNF384 aberrations that phenocopy leukemia with ZNF384r. Therefore, we show that part of the so-called ZNF384r-like cases represent the same genetic subtype as leukemia with canonical ZNF384 fusions.
