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

backgroundPlant Homeodomain Finger Protein 6 (PHF6) gene mutations are rare in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), with unclear mechanisms and uncertain prognostic value. They may compromise risk stratification and treatment decisions. This study analyzed clinical features and survival outcomes in PHF6-mutated AML patients, evaluating the impact of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and co-mutations on prognosis. Precise stratification helps optimize prognostic models and guide individualized therapy.

methodsThis study retrospectively analyzed 45 AML patients with PHF6 gene alterations at our institution. Clinical features, treatment approaches, therapeutic outcomes, and gene co-mutation profiles were comprehensively assessed to determine their prognostic significance. Overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), and event-free survival (EFS) among different groups were compared using the Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test. A multivariate Cox regression model identified independent prognostic predictors.

resultsPHF6-mutated AML was associated with shorter OS compared with wild-type (p = 0.003), but PHF6 mutation was not an independent predictor of OS in multivariate Cox analysis. HSCT improved OS, DFS, and EFS compared with no transplantation (all p < 0.05). Median WBC at diagnosis was 2.04 × 10

conclusionsThis study provides clinical evidence for prognosis assessment in PHF6-mutated AML, enabling more precise risk stratification, individualized treatment, and further pathogenesis research.
