Monitoring of JAK2V617F allele burden in patients with essential thrombocythemia.
Article in Blood research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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/
aimThis study retrospectively examined the clinical implications of monitoring JAK2V617F, with a particular focus on disease transformation, in a Korean population of patients with essential thrombocythemia (ET).
methodsMedical records of patients diagnosed with ET between January 1996 and December 2021 at Chungnam National University Hospital, Daejeon, Korea, were reviewed. Both episodic changes (increase or decrease) and longitudinal patterns of change (stable, gradual increase, or gradual decrease) in JAK2V617F variant allele frequency (VAF), measured at 1-year intervals, were analyzed.
resultsAmong the 87 patients who had JAK2V617F VAF measured at least three times, 23 (26.4%), 21 (24.1%), and 16 (18.4%) experienced increases of ≥ 25%, ≥ 50%, and ≥ 100%, respectively, while 27 (42.5%), 26 (29.9%), and 2 (2.3%) experienced decreases of ≥ 25%, ≥ 50%, and 100%, respectively. Patients with VAF increases had significantly poorer transformation-free survival than those without increases (15-year survival for ≥ 50% increase: 79.2% vs. 97.5%; p = 0.007). Regarding the longitudinal patterns, 62 (71.3%), 13 (14.9%), and 12 (13.8%) patients were classified as having stable, gradual increase, and gradual decrease patterns, respectively. Transformation-free survival was worse in patients with a gradual increase and better in those with a gradual decrease than in those with a stable pattern (20-year survival: 100% vs. 88.8% vs. 31.3%; p = 0.026).
conclusionsAn increasing JAK2V617F allele burden over time is associated with disease transformation in ET, supporting the need for the ongoing monitoring of JAK2V617F VAF in these patients.
