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

backgroundThe vast majority of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients have a single translocation t(9;22)(q34;q11), BCR/ABL1 fusion genes, which is regarded as the hallmark of CML. However, around 5 to 10% of CML patients exhibit the involvement of a third chromosome. In some very rare cases a fourth or even fifth chromosome can be involved with the t(9;22).

methodsThis case report is based on a 40-year-old Saudi Arabian male patient, diagnosed with CML in lymphoid blast crisis, and observed to have a four-way 46 XY, t(9;22;5;2)(q34;q11.2;p13;q44) translocation. The BCR/ABL1 fusion was identified by fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH). Additionally, the BCR/ABL1 p210 mRNA fusion transcripts were identified by a molecular test.

resultsThe clinical and prognostic impact of additional partner chromosomes to t(9;22) remains unknown. The CML patient with this novel four-way translocation t(9;22;5;2) progressed to blast crisis and was resistant to Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (TKI) therapy. Therefore, this case is more in alignment with the negative impact of additional partner chromosomes to the translocation at t(9;22).

conclusionHere we report for the first time a novel four-way translocation at t(9;22;5;2)(q34;q11.2;p13;q44).
