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

Immunoglobulin (IG) clonality assessment is a widely used supplementary test for the diagnosis of suspected lymphoid malignancies. The specific rearrangements of the immunoglobulin (IG) heavy and light chain genes act as a unique hallmark of a B-cell lymphoma, a feature that is used in clonality assessment. The widely used BIOMED-2/EuroClonality IG clonality assay, visualized by GeneScanning or heteroduplex analysis, has an unprecedented high detection rate because of the complementarity of this approach. However, the BIOMED-2/EuroClonality clonality assays have been developed for the assessment of specimens with optimal DNA quality. Further improvements for the assessment of samples with suboptimal DNA quality, such as from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) specimens or specimens with a limited tumor burden, are required. The EuroClonality-NGS Working Group recently developed a next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based clonality assay for the detection of the IG heavy and kappa light chain rearrangements, using the same complementary approach as in the conventional assay. By employing next-generation sequencing, both the sensitivity and specificity of the clonality assay have increased, which not only is very useful for diagnostic clonality testing but also allows robust comparison of clonality patterns in a patient with multiple lymphoma's that have suboptimal DNA quality. Here, we describe the protocols for IG-NGS clonality assessment that are compatible for Ion Torrent and Illumina sequencing platforms including pre-analytical DNA isolation, the analytical phase, and the post-analytical data analysis.
