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

backgroundGATA binding protein 2 (GATA2) plays a crucial role in the differentiation, proliferation, and maintenance of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). GATA2 mutations have been identified in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), but the impact of somatic GATA2 mutations on prognosis remains controversial, especially on patients who undergo allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT).

objectivesThe aim of this retrospective case-control study was to explore the prognostic significance of somatic GATA2 mutations in MDS/AML patients who underwent allo-HSCT. STUDY

designPropensity score matching (PSM) analysis was used to match patients with wild-type GATA2 as the control group (ratio 1:3). A total of 14 patients with somatic GATA2 mutations and 39 patients with wild-type GATA2 were enrolled.

resultsThe baseline characteristics were comparable between the two groups. However, patients with GATA2 mutations had a higher frequency of WT1 mutations and relapse rate (p = 0.036 and p = 0.008, respectively). Compared to patients with wild-type GATA2, patients with GATA2 mutations had shorter progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS), and post-transplant PFS (p < 0.001, p = 0.030, and p = 0.004, respectively). Subgroup analysis showed that the PFS, OS, post-transplant PFS, and OS of patients with GATA2 non-zinc finger domain 1 (non-ZF1) mutations (p < 0.001, p = 0.004, p < 0.001, and p = 0.049, respectively), but not those of patients with somatic GATA2 ZF1 mutations, were shorter than that of patients with wild-type GATA2. Moreover, somatic GATA2 mutations and WBC count ≥ 20.86 × 10

conclusionsOur preliminary study revealed that somatic GATA2 mutations, especially non-ZF1 mutations, may be associated with unfavorable outcomes in patients with MDS/AML, even for patients who underwent allo-HSCT.
