Integrated analysis of transcriptome and genome variations in pediatric T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia: data from north Indian tertiary care center.
Article in BMC cancer, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
introductionT-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is a genetically heterogeneous disease with poor prognosis and inferior outcome. Although multiple studies have been perform on genomics of T-ALL, data from Indian sub-continent is scarce.
methodsIn the current study we aimed to identify the genetic variability of T-ALL in an Indian cohort of pediatric (age ≤ 12 years) T-ALL patients (n = 25) by whole transcriptome sequencing along with whole exome sequencing and correlated the findings with clinical characteristics and disease outcome.
resultsThe median age was 7 years (range 3 -12 years). RNA sequencing revealed a definitive fusion event in 14 cases (56%) (including a novel fusions) with STIL::TAL1 in 4 (16%), followed by NUP21::ABL1, TCF7::SPI1, ETV6::HDAC8, LMO1::RIC3, DIAPH1::JAK2, SETD2::CCDC12 and RCBTB2::LPAR6 in 1 (4%) case each. Significant aberrant expression was noted in RAG1 (64%), RAG2 (80%), MYCN (52%), NKX3-1 (52%), NKX3-2 (32%), TLX3 (28%), LMO1 (20%) and MYB (16%) genes. WES data showed frequent mutations in NOTCH1 (35%) followed by WT1 (23%), FBXW7 (12%), KRAS (12%), PHF6 (12%) and JAK3 (12%). Nearly 88.2% of cases showed a deletion of CDKN2A/CDKN2B/MTAP genes. Clinically significant association of a better EFS and OS (p=0.01) was noted with RAG2 over-expression at a median follow up of 22 months, while a poor EFS (p=0.041) and high relapse rate (p=0.045) was observed with MYB over-expression.
conclusionOverall, the present study demonstrates the frequencies of transcriptomic and genetic alterations from Indian cohort of pediatric T-ALL and is a salient addition to current genomics data sets available in T-ALL.
