HLA-B*58 and HLA-B*27 Play a Role in the Development of Acute Leukemia: A Case Control Study.

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
backgroundAcute leukemia (AL) constitutes a group of malignant hematological diseases with multifactor origins. Some human leukocyte alleles (HLA) may be important genetic risk factors for development of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). It is still unknown whether there is a relationship between ALL and AML with some alleles of the major histocompatibility complex. Our study looks specifically at western and southwest Algerian populations.
methodUsing the polymerase chain reaction with the sequence specific probe (PCR- SSP) method, we investigated the relationship of HLA-B alleles in 163 Algerian AL patients and 293 controls from the same ethnic origin. The study ran from 2013 - 2020.
resultsAllele frequencies of HLA-B*27 and HLA-B*58 was higher in AL patients compared with control individuals; p=0.05 and p=0.03 respectively. Interestingly, all patients carrying HLA-B*27 allele and 88% of patients carrying HLA-B*58 allele had AML. However, there were no significant differences when we compared these results with the rest of AL group (HLA-B*X allele) (p=0.387). Response to induction chemotherapy treatment were comparable between the two patient groups 67% and 65% (p=0.978) respectively.
conclusionThese results suggest that the HLA-B*27 and HLA-B*58, may be factors predisposing individuals to acute leukemia, in west and southwest Algerian patients. A large-scale study is still needed to confirm these findings.
