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

Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) are a heterogeneous group of clonal disorders characterized by aberrant hematopoietic proliferation and an intrinsic risk of progression to blast phase. The WHO classification 2022 identifies chronic myeloid leukemia and the BCR::ABL1 negative MPNs polycythemia vera, primary myelofibrosis and essential thrombocythemia as individual entities. However, overlaps, borderline findings or transitions between MPN subtypes occur and incomplete clinical data often complicates diagnosis. By conducting a thorough genetic analysis, we've developed a model that relies on 12 genetic markers to accurately stratify MPN patients. The model can be simplified into a decision tree for routine use. Comparing samples at chronic and blast phase revealed, that one third of patients lost their MPN driver-gene mutation, while mutations in splicing and chromatin modifying genes were stable, indicating a shared founder clone of chronic and blast phase with different driver mutations and therefore different progressing capacities. This was further supported by gain of typical de novo AML gene mutations, accompanied by gain of complex karyotypes and RAS pathway gene mutations. Our data suggest to perform a broader genetic screening at diagnosis and also at clinical progression, as driver mutations may change and the MPN-driver mutations present at diagnosis may disappear.
