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

backgroundAlterations of 11q23/KMT2A are the most prevalent cytogenetic abnormalities in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and the prognostic significance of 11q23/KMT2A-rearranged AML based on various translocation partners varies among different studies. However, few studies evaluated the molecular characteristics of 11q23/KMT2A-rearranged pediatric AML. We aim to analyze the mutational landscape of 11q23/KMT2A-rearranged AML and assess their prognostic value in outcomes.

methodsThe mutational landscape and clinical prognosis of 105 children with 11q23/KMT2A-rearranged AML in comparison with 277 children with non-11q23/KMT2A-rearranged AML were analyzed using publicly accessible next-generation sequencing data from Therapeutically Applicable Research to Generate Effective Treatments (TARGET) dataset.

resultsPediatric AML patients with 11q23/KMT2A-rearrangements harbored a low number of mutations (Median, 1 mutation/patient, range, 1-22), 58% of which involved in RAS pathway mutations (KRAS, NRAS, and PTPN11) and 10.5% of which comprised of SETD2 mutations. Compared with non-11q23/KMT2A-rearranged AML, the incidence of KRAS (32.4% vs. 10.1%, P〈0.001) and SETD2 (10.5% vs. 1.4%, P=0.001) gene mutations in 11q23/KMT2A-rearranged AML was significantly higher. Both KRAS and SETD2 mutations occurred more often in t(10;11)(p12;q23). KRAS mutations were correlated with worse 5-year event-free survival [EFS] (Plog-rank = 0.001) and 5-year overall survival [OS] (Plog-rank = 0.009) and the presence of SETD2 mutations increases the 5-year relapse rate (PGray = 0.004). Multivariate analyses confirmed KRAS mutations in 11q23/KMT2A-rearranged AML as an independent predictor for poor EFS (hazard ratio [HR] = 2.10, P=0.05) and OS (HR = 2.39, P=0.054).

conclusionOur findings show that pediatric patients with 11q23/KMT2A rearrangements have characteristic mutation patterns and varying clinical outcomes depending on different translocation partners, which could be utilized to develop more accurate risk stratification and tailored therapies.
