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

backgroundB-lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphomas (B-ALL/LBL) are uncommon neoplasms that may be associated with a variety of cytogenetic and molecular changes. The mechanisms by which these changes arise have not been fully described. AIMS/PURPOSE: This report describes an unusual case of B-ALL/LBL with complex clonal evolution that includes BCL2 and MYC gene rearrangements.

methodsImmunophenotyping was performed by immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry. Traditional G-band karyotyping was accompanied by fluorescence in-situ hybridization (FISH) using break-apart and dual fusion probes. Single nucleotide polymorphisms were assessed using a high-density DNA microarray.

resultsThe karyotype of the blasts showed reciprocal translocation of chromosomes 4 and 18, reciprocal translocation of chromosomes 8 and 14 with two copies of the oncogenic translocation derivative(14)t(8;14), and no normal chromosome 14. FISH studies showed complex IGH-BCL2 and IGH-MYC fusion signals.

conclusionsA clonal evolution model involving multiple chromosomal translocations and mitotic recombination is postulated to account for the karyotype, FISH, and microarray results but leaves unresolved the exact order of the evolutionary changes.
