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

backgroundHereditary hematological malignancy syndromes (HHMS) are more common than previously thought, and identification of an HHMS syndrome can inform the choice of treatments, transplant, and testing of other family members. Genetic testing guidelines for hematological malignancy have broadened; however, there remain a multitude of barriers and complexities with germline genetic testing for these patients. Here, we describe a process for the evaluation and testing of patients for HHMS as well as our respective findings.

methodsAdult patients with a new diagnosis or history of myeloid malignancy and referred for genetic counseling from 2020 to 2023 within a single institution were reviewed. Descriptive statistics were performed, and frequency data was gathered for relevant patients.

resultsA total of forty-nine patients were evaluated by a genetic counselor based on their myeloid malignancy; forty-three patients underwent genetic testing. Genetic testing revealed an HHMS for six patients, with two additional patients found to have abnormalities on ancillary testing that could not be genetically characterized. Thirty-five patients met NCCN age-based criteria for genetic testing; however, this was not mutually exclusive with those diagnosed with HHMS. Inpatient genetic counseling had a median timeline of 53 days from referral to result (range: 32-56.75 days). Outpatient genetic counseling had a median timeline of 96 days from referral to result (range: 64-144 days).

conclusionOur proposed process demonstrates an efficient structure for patients with hematological malignancy while supporting the importance of the genetic counselor within the malignant hematology and stem cell transplant teams.
