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

backgroundBased on CD14/CD16 expression, monocytes can be divided into the following three functionally distinct subsets: classical (MO1, CD14++/CD16-), intermediate (MO2, CD14+/CD16+) and non-classical (MO3, CD14

methodsOur study included 56 peripheral blood (PB) and 69 bone marrow (BM) samples. The PB cohort included 20 patients with CMML, 21 with no myeloid neoplasms (non-MN) and 15 with other myeloid neoplasms (non-CMML-MN). The BM cohort included 25 CMML, 16 non-MN and 28 non-CMML-MN cases. Taking advantage of an existing 8-color myelomonocytic tube routinely used in our lab, we conducted a retrospective monocyte subset analysis using a new sequential gating strategy.

resultsThe assay was able to distinguish CMML from non-CMML cases with high sensitivity (90.0%) and specificity (88.9%) in blood samples using a cutoff value of MO1 > 94%. For BM samples, a reduced MO3 < 1.24% was more closely associated with CMML with a sensitivity of 96.0% and a specificity of 79.5%. A side-by-side comparison of our assay with the original "monocyte assay" showed strong agreement.

conclusionsOur study demonstrates the utility of a practical and robust approach for monocyte subset analysis in the diagnosis of CMML.
