CALR type 1 mutations are associated with an increased incidence of myelofibrosis in young male patients.

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
backgroundCalreticulin (CALR) mutations are commonly identified in patients with essential thrombocythaemia or myelofibrosis. CALR type 1 mutations are known to have a higher overall incidence in males but little is known about the risks of mutation subtypes on myelofibrotic change across patient age and sex.
aimsTo identify differences in the incidence of myelofibrotic change within subgroups of patients with CALR type 1 mutations.
methodsAll patients with a positive CALR exon 9 mutation identified within our unit between February 2016 and September 2020 were reviewed with note taken of patient sex, age at diagnosis, initial MPN diagnosis, and subsequent disease transformation.
resultsIn our cohort, young male patients with CALR type 1 mutations were shown to be at significantly increased risk of myelofibrosis compared to age matched female patients.
conclusionsMale patients have a worse myeloproliferative neoplasm phenotype than female patients with it occurring at a younger age and being more myelofibrotic in nature. Further investigation is needed into the reasons for this variability.
