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 inclusion of nine myelodysplasia-related gene (MRG) mutations (ASXL1, BCOR, EZH2, RUNX1, SF3B1, SRSF2, STAG2, U2AF1, ZRSR2) as adverse risk factors in the ELN risk classification has reshaped classification in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). AML with FLT3-ITD mutations and co-occurring MRG alterations is now classified to the ELN adverse risk group although supporting evidence remains limited. Among 4,078 patients with AML with available molecular information included in the HARMONY platform, 862 harbored FLT3-ITD mutations and underwent intensive chemotherapy. Of these, 171 (20%) exhibited co-occurring MRG mutations at diagnosis. In this cohort, MRGs were not independently associated with relapse-free survival (RFS) or overall survival (OS). In the FLT3-ITD/NPM1 co-mutated subgroup, MRG mutations were rare (9%) and showed no prognostic impact. Conversely, in FLT3-ITD/NPM1 wildtype AML, MRG mutations were predictive of shorter RFS (HR 1.37, 95%CI 1.01 - 1.88, p = 0.046) and OS (HR 1.34, 95%CI 1.02-1.74, p = 0.032) in multivariable analysis with survival times comparable to the ELN adverse risk category. The allelic ratio of FLT3-ITD did not further stratify OS and RFS in this subgroup. These findings suggest that the prognostic relevance of MRG mutations in FLT3-ITD AML is modulated by NPM1 co-mutational status and mirror findings in AML lacking FLT3-ITD.
