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.
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
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are characterized by genomic instability, which may arise from the global hypomethylation of the DNA. The active DNA demethylation process may be linked with aberrant methylation and can be involved in leukemogenesis. The levels of 5-methylcytosine oxidation products were analyzed in minimally invasive material: the cellular DNA from peripheral blood cells and urine of patients with AML and MDS along with the control group, using isotope-dilution two-dimensional ultra-performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry. The receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was used for the assessment of the ability to discriminate patients' groups from the control group, and AML from MDS. The most diagnostically useful for discriminating AML patients from the control group was the urinary excretion of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (AUC = 0.918, sensitivity: 85%, and specificity: 97%), and 5-(hydroxymethyl)-2'-deoxyuridine (0.873, 74%, and 92%), while for MDS patients 5-(hydroxymethyl)-2'-deoxycytidine in DNA (0.905, 82%, and 98%) and urinary 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (0.746, 66%, and 92%). Multi-factor models of classification trees allowed the correct classification of patients with AML and MDS in 95.7% and 94.7% of cases. The highest prognostic value of the analyzed parameters in predicting the transformation of MDS into AML was observed for 5-carboxy-2'-deoxycytidine (0.823, 80%, and 97%) and 5-(hydroxymethyl)-2'-deoxyuridine (0.872, 100%, and 75%) in DNA. The presented research proves that the intermediates of the active DNA demethylation pathway determined in the completely non-invasive (urine) or minimally invasive (blood) material can be useful in supporting the diagnostic process of patients with MDS and AML. The possibility of an early identification of a group of MDS patients with an increased risk of transformation into AML is of particular importance.
