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

Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is a rare form of mature T cell lymphoma in children, particularly the anaplastic large cell kinase (ALK) negative subtype. Despite frontline treatment advances, there is no standard approach to treat relapsed disease and prognosis remains poor. Recently, JAK/STAT activating mutations have been implicated in the pathogenesis of ALK-negative ALCL in adults, but the oncogenic drivers of this disease in children are not well characterized. Herein, we describe a case of a 13 year-old boy with early systemic relapse of ALK-negative ALCL harboring a rare ATXN2L::JAK2 fusion, who achieved complete remission with ruxolitinib monotherapy. Consolidative allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant HSCT then lead to long-term remission. This case underscores the critical role of comprehensive genomic profiling for rare histologies and supports the potential utility of JAK/STAT pathway inhibitors in select patients with ALK-negative ALCL.
