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

Background: Immunophenotypically defined mixed-phenotype acute leukemias (MPAL) are rare and remain a diagnostic and therapeutic dilemma. We aim to explore the clinicopathologic characteristics and oncological outcomes of these entities. Methods: A total of 52 patients with immunophenotypically defined MPAL were identified from our pathology database. Medical records and archived diagnostic pathology data were retrospectively reviewed and analyzed. Results: This cohort consisted primarily of B/myeloid (80.8%), followed by T/myeloid (11.5%), B/T (5.8%), and B/T/myeloid (1.9%) immunophenotypes. There were 19 adults and 33 pediatric patients, with a male-to-female ratio of 2.1:1. A total of 34 biphenotypic and 18 bilineal MPAL patients were observed. Comparative analyses suggested that acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)-directed chemotherapy, pediatric population, and biphenotypic type significantly correlated with higher complete remission rates ( Conclusion: Our findings support that immunophenotypically defined MPALs are distinctive entities with immunophenotypic diversity. Multiple factors, including treatment type, lineage component, and age group, represent strong predictors of clinical outcomes. Future studies focusing on incorporating immunophenotype and molecular profiles may contribute to better classification, prognostication, and treatment establishment.Trial Registration: The authors have confirmed clinical trial registration is not needed for this submission.
