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

New methods like panel-based RNA fusion sequencing (RNA-FS) promise improved diagnostics in various malignancies. We here analyzed the impact of RNA-FS on the initial diagnostics of 241 cases with pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML). We show that, compared to classical cytogenetics (CCG), RNA-FS reliably detected risk-relevant fusion genes in pediatric AML. In addition, RNA-FS strongly improved the detection of cryptic fusion genes like NUP98::NSD1, KMT2A::MLLT10 and CBFA2T3::GLIS2 and thereby resulted in an improved risk stratification in 25 patients (10.4%). Validation of additionally detected non-risk-relevant high confidence fusion calls identified PIM3::BRD1, C22orf34::BRD1, PSPC1::ZMYM2 and ARHGAP26::NR3C1 as common genetic variants and MYB::GATA1 as recurrent aberration, which we here describe in AML subtypes M0 and M7 for the first time. However, it failed to detect rare cytogenetically confirmed fusion events like MNX1::ETV6 and other chromosome 12p-abnormalities. As add-on benefit, the proportion of patients for whom measurable residual disease (MRD) monitoring became possible was increased by RNA-FS from 44.4 to 75.5% as the information on the fusion transcripts' sequence allowed the design of new MRD assays.
