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

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous malignancy, with clonal complexity and somatic mutations critically influencing prognosis and treatment. While global genomic profiling efforts have revolutionized AML classification and risk stratification, the molecular landscape in Pakistani patients remains underexplored. Our aim is to perform targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) for somatic mutational profiling of newly diagnosed AML patients in Pakistan. This prospective study was conducted at the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology, Pakistan, from January 2021 to January 2026. Among 104 patients, 204 somatic variants were identified (mean: 1.96 variants/patient), predominantly single-nucleotide variants (49.5%). Missense mutations (38.2%) were most common, with enriched transitions (Ti/Tv: 1.27:1). Frequently mutated genes included
