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

Myeloid/lymphoid neoplasms with eosinophilia (MLN-eo) associated with PDGFRB rearrangements represent a rare but clinically significant category of hematologic malignancies, characterized by clonal eosinophilia and exceptional sensitivity to tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Among these, the MPRIP::PDGFRB fusion is exceptionally uncommon, with only three patients previously reported. Here, we report the first United States patient with MPRIP::PDGFRB fusion in a 34-year-old man presenting with leukocytosis, marked eosinophilia, anemia, thrombocytopenia, mucocutaneous lesions, hepatosplenomegaly, chronic gastrointestinal symptoms, and tree-in-bud pulmonary nodularity. Bone marrow evaluation revealed a markedly hypercellular marrow with increased eosinophils, grade 1 reticulin fibrosis, and dysmegakaryopoiesis. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) demonstrated a PDGFRB rearrangement in 76% of cells, and chromosome analysis revealed a balanced translocation t(5;17)(q32;p11.2). Next-generation sequencing RNA-based myeloid fusion panel analysis identified an MPRIP::PDGFRB fusion formed by an in-frame junction of MPRIP exon 20 and PDGFRB exon 12. The patient was initiated on imatinib therapy and achieved rapid remission. To contextualize this patient, we compared the clinical and molecular features of all previously published patients with MPRIP::PDGFRB fusion, noting shared findings of marked eosinophilia and excellent imatinib sensitivity, but notable heterogeneity in symptom burden, degree of marrow fibrosis, and associated immune-related manifestations. Additionally, we provide an overview of 45 reported PDGFRB fusion partner genes, summarizing their cytogenetic characteristics, and associated diseases. This case report expands the clinical spectrum of MPRIP::PDGFRB positive MLN-eo and underscores the essential role of cytogenetic and molecular testing in the diagnostic evaluation of eosinophilia, given the significant therapeutic implications of identifying PDGFRB fusions.
