Predictive significance of high neutrophil ratio for thrombosis in myeloproliferative neoplasms: JSH-MPN-R18 subanalysis.

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
Thrombosis in myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) is an important clinical problem, and risk-stratified management is essential. To identify the clinical characteristics of thrombosis in patients with MPNs, a nationwide multi-institutional retrospective analysis (JSH-MPN-R18) was conducted. The aim of the present study was to perform a sub-analysis of JSH-MPN-R18 findings to clarify the predictive parameters for thrombosis among complete blood count (CBC) results. Among the patients enrolled in JSH-MPN-R18, those with essential thrombocythemia (ET; n = 1152) and polycythemia vera (PV; n = 456) were investigated. We analyzed and compared CBC parameters between patients with and those without any thrombotic events using Welch's T-test. Statistical analyses were performed using the R statistical software. Thrombotic events were observed in 74 patients with ET. In multivariate analysis, only the neutrophil ratio was slightly but significantly higher for ET patients with thrombosis than for those without (p < 0.05). Of note, the absolute neutrophil count (aNeu) was considered a useful predictive tool for thrombosis among patients classified as low-risk according to the revised International Prognostic Score of Thrombosis for Essential Thrombocythemia. Among PV patients, those with thrombosis showed significantly higher hematocrit and aNeu than did those without thrombosis. As a thrombosis-associated factor, the neutrophil ratio was slightly but significantly elevated in patients with ET. This myeloid skew might reflect a higher value of JAK2 V617F allelic frequency in patients with ET with thrombosis; this was not clarified in JSH-MPN-R18. Further accumulation of evidence, including genetic information for JAK2 and other passenger mutations, is warranted.
