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

The role of germline CHEK2 variants in hematopoietic malignancies (HMs) is poorly understood. We examined pathogenic/likely pathogenic (P/LP) CHEK2 variants in patients with hereditary HMs (HHMs), a solid tumor risk cohort, public datasets, and a knock-in mouse model. In the HHM cohort, 57 probands had germline P/LP CHEK2 variants, mostly p.I157T (53%, 30/57). Among CHEK2 p.I157T carriers, 43% (19/44) had myeloid malignancies, 32% (14/44) had lymphoid malignancies, and 2% (1/44) had both. Among those with other germline P/LP CHEK2 alleles, 36% (13/36) had myeloid malignancies, 28% (10/36) had lymphoid malignancies, and 6% (2/36) had both. CHEK2 p.I157T was enriched in HM patients (OR 6.44, 95%CI 3.68-10.73, P < 0.001). In a solid tumor risk cohort, 36% (15/42) of CHEK2 p.I157T patients had a HM family history. A genome wide association study showed enrichment of CHEK2 loss-of-function variants with myeloid leukemia (P = 5.78e
