Prognostic significance of GATA2 in patients with MDS/AML: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Annals of hematology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
GATA2 deficiency syndrome is a heterogeneous disorder characterized by a high risk of developing myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)/acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). We conducted a meta-analysis of the literature to explore the prognostic significance of GATA2 mutations in patients diagnosed with MDS/AML, as previous studies have yielded conflicting findings regarding the impact of GATA2 mutations on patient outcomes. We conducted a comprehensive literature search of databases such as PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and the Web of Science to obtain studies on the prognostic significance of GATA2 mutations in patients with MDS/AML that were published through January 2024. We extracted the hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), and event-free survival (EFS). The meta-analysis was conducted by choosing either a fixed-effect model or a random-effect model, depending on the variability observed among the studies. A total of 13 cohort studies were included in the final meta-analysis, including 2714 patients with MDS, of whom 644 had GATA2 mutations. The results revealed that GATA2 mutations had an adverse impact on OS (HR = 1.54, 95% CI = 1.08-2.18, P = 0.02) and EFS (HR = 1.32, 95% CI = 1.01-1.72, P = 0.04), but no significant effect on DFS (HR = 1.21, 95% CI = 0.89-1.64, P = 0.23). GATA2 mutations were associated with a significantly shorter OS in MDS patients (HR = 2.56, 95% CI = 1.42-4.06, P = 0.002) but not in AML patients (HR = 1.08, 95% CI = 0.92-1.26, P = 0.37). Our meta-analysis revealed that GATA2 mutations are associated with unfavourable outcomes in patients with MDS/AML. Furthermore, patients harbouring these mutations should be prioritized for aggressive therapeutic interventions.
