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

picalmMLLT10 fusion is a rare but recurrent genetic driver in acute leukemias. To better understand the genomic landscape of PICALM::MLLT10 (PM) positive acute leukemia, we performed genomic profiling and gene expression profiling in twenty PM-positive patients, including AML (n = 10), T-ALL/LLy (n = 8), Mixed-phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL), T/B (n = 1) and acute undifferentiated leukemia (AUL) (n = 1). Besides confirming the known activation of HOXA, differential gene expression analysis compared to hematopoietic stem cells demonstrated the enrichment of genes associated with cell proliferation-related pathways and relatively high expression of XPO1 in PM-AML and PM-T-ALL/LLy. Our study also suggested PHF6 disruption as a key cooperating event in PICALM::MLLT10-positive leukemias. In addition, we demonstrated differences in gene expression profiles as well as remarkably different spectra of co-occurring mutations between PM-AML and PM-T-ALL/LLy. Alterations affecting TP53 and NF1, hallmarks of PM-AML, are strongly associated with disease progression and relapse, whereas EZH2 alterations are highly enriched in PM-T-ALL/LLy. This comprehensive genomic and transcriptomic profiling provides insights into the pathogenesis and development of PICALM::MLLT10 positive acute leukemia.
