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

objectivesThe clinicopathologic and prognostic features of somatic NF1 mutations have been well studied in pediatric myeloid neoplasms and adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML) but not in adult chronic myeloid neoplasms (CMNs), including myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), and myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasms (MDS/MPNs).

methodsA retrospective review was performed to identify adult patients diagnosed with NF1-mutated CMNs between 1/2010 and 8/2023. Patients with NF1 wildtype (NF1-WT) CMNs concurrently diagnosed during the same time were used as a comparative group. Clinicopathologic and genetic characteristics and overall survival (OS) were compared between the two groups.

resultsA total of 36 NF1-mutated CMNs were identified (4.7% of all CMNs), including 19 MDS, 4 MPNs, and 13 MDS/MPNs (all CMML). NF1-mutated CMMLs showed significantly higher absolute monocyte counts (AMC), more frequent complex karyotypes, and higher frequencies of SRSF2 and KRAS mutations compared to NF1-WT CMMLs. NF1-mutated MDS also showed significantly higher AMC, lower frequency of SF3B1, and higher frequencies of SRSF2 and KRAS mutations compared to NF1-WT MDS. The OS of NF1-mutated CMNs was significantly inferior to NF1-WT CMNs (median survival: 2.05 vs. 4.8 years; log-rank p = 0.03).

conclusionsAdult CMNs with mutated NF1 show higher AMC, high-risk molecular cytogenetic features, and inferior survival. Therefore, testing for NF1 mutations could be considered part of risk assessment for patients with CMNs.
