A KMT2C loss-of-function mutation in a JAK2-negative polycythemia vera-like myeloproliferative neoplasm: a case report.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 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: Polycythemia vera (PV) is a clonal myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) typically defined by JAK2 mutations. JAK2-negative presentations pose significant diagnostic challenges and likely harbor a spectrum of molecular drivers that remain incompletely characterized. Case presentation: We report a case of JAK2-negative PV-like MPN in a 53-year-old male presenting with erythrocytosis, suppressed erythropoietin, panmyelotic bone marrow morphology, and splenic vein thrombosis. Standard JAK2 V617F and exon 12 analyses were negative. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) identified a KMT2C nonsense variant (c.2961C>G, p.Tyr987*) at a variant allele frequency (VAF) of 21%, providing molecular evidence of clonality. The clinical course was complicated by intermittent hydroxyurea non-adherence with marked hematocrit fluctuations; dose optimisation from 1 g to 2 g daily achieved stable hematological control. Conclusion: This case adds to the emerging molecular landscape of JAK2-negative MPNs by identifying KMT2C loss-of-function as a clonal marker in a patient with a JAK2-negative PV-like MPN phenotype. Whether KMT2C p.Tyr987* contributes causally to the erythroid-biased expansion or represents an accompanying clonal event warrants functional investigation. Comprehensive genomic profiling is essential when canonical driver mutations are absent, and strict adherence to cytoreductive targets remains critical to prevent thrombotic complications.
