Chromosomal Variations and Clinical Features of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in the North Indian Population: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe key prognostic markers in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) include age, leukocyte count upon diagnosis, immunophenotype, and chromosomal abnormalities. Furthermore, there was a correlation between cytogenetic anomalies and specific immunologic phenotypes of ALL, which in turn had varied outcomes. The objective of this study was to examine the occurrence of cytogenetic abnormalities in individuals diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
methodsThe study employed a cross-sectional design to investigate genetic evaluation and clinical features in 147 ALL patients between March 2021 and August 2022. Demographic data (like age and sex), clinical manifestations, and hematological parameters were collected. Cytogenetic analysis (G-banding) was performed to identify chromosomal abnormalities. The mean±SD and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to assess associations and differences among variables using SPSS Version 24 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA).
resultsThe study shows male n=85 and female n=62 in ALL patients, with prevalent clinical manifestations: fever n=100 (68.03%), pallor n=123 (83.67%), and lymphadenopathy n=65 (44.22%). The hematological parameters like hemoglobin (Hb) (6.14±2.5 g/dl), total leukocyte count (TLC) (1.7±1.05 cell/mm
conclusionThe study shows a male predominance with ALL, prevalent clinical manifestations, and significant hematological parameter variations in the 30-50 age group. Chromosomal abnormalities, notably 46, XX, t(9;22), underscore the genetic complexity of the disease, which necessitates tailored therapeutic interventions informed by genetic profiles.
