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

backgroundIndividuals with polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET), and primary myelofibrosis (PMF) face transformation risks to acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). While older age is linked to increased risk, it remains unclear whether risk increases with age or with disease duration.

objectivesTo examine how age and disease duration affect AML and MDS transformation in MPN.

methodsWe used Swedish nationwide register data to model transformation rates as continuous functions of age and disease duration for each subtype and outcome. Cumulative incidences were estimated accounting for competing risk of death.

resultsThis study included 7156 patients with PV, 6810 with ET, and 1080 with PMF diagnosed in 2001-2021. In PV and ET, AML rates increased with disease duration. In PMF, AML rates were highest soon after diagnosis and declined over time. The 10-year cumulative incidence of AML at diagnosis age 70 was 3.5% in PV, 4.7% in ET, and 18.2% in PMF; for MDS, it was 1.7%, 3.1%, and 10.7%, respectively.

conclusionAML and MDS transformation risks vary by MPN subtype and depend on age and disease duration, with disease duration elevating AML risk in PV and ET; incorporating both factors is essential for individualized risk assessment.
