High Frequency of ASXL1 and IDH Mutations in Young Acute Myeloid Leukemia Egyptian Patients.
Article in Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention : APJCP, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundPrognostication of AML patients depends on association of genetic and epigenetic abnormalities. We aimed to evaluate the frequency and prognostic significance of Additional Sex comb's Like1 (ASXL1), Isocitrate Dehydrogenase (IDH) and Casitas B- lineage Lymphoma (CBL) mutations in AML assessing their association with different cytogenetic risk category.
methodsWe used High Resolution Melting (HRM) technology that detects small differences in PCR amplified sequences by direct melting using EvaGreen saturating dye to analyze epigenetic mutations in 70 denovo AML patients.
resultsMedian age of AML patients was 39.5 years (18-75). ASXL1, IDH and CBL mutations were detected in 14 (20%), 10 (14%) and 5 (7%) patients, respectively. Mean age of ASXL1 and IDH mutants vs. wild type was 35.9±14.6 years and 42.9±14.4 years (p=0.114) and 46.7±15.2 years vs. 40.6±14.5 years (p=0.290), respectively. AML cytogenetic risk groups included low (25/70, 36%), intermediate (33/70, 47%) and high-risk (12/70, 17%). Nine/14 (64%) ASXL1 and 8/10 (80%) IDH mutants were classified as intermediate risk and 9 ASXL1 positive (64%) were adolescent and young adults (AYA). Overall survival (OS) of mutant ASXL1 vs. wild type was 1.1 years (95% CI 0.83-1.4) vs. 1.9 years (95% CI 0.71-7.51), respectively (p=0.056). OS of mutant IDH vs. wild type was 1.25 years (95% CI 0.85-1.6) vs. 1.8 years (95% CI 1.2-6.7), respectively (p=0.020). In intermediate risk cytogenetic group, ASXL1 and IDH mutants had shorter OS than wild type; 1.1 years (95% CI 0.97-1.2) vs. 2.1 years (95% CI 0.14-10.8) (p=0.002) and 1.8 years (95% CI 0.69-3.15) vs. 2.3 years (95% CI 1.1-5.5) (p=0.05), respectively.
conclusionASXL1 and IDH mutations occur at a high incidence among young Egyptian AML patients with intermediate risk cytogenetics and confer a poorer outcome. Integration of mutations into risk profiling may predict outcome and impact therapeutic approach of young AML patient with uncertain prognosis.
