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

In B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (B-ALL), paired box 5 (PAX5) rearrangement (PAX5-r) represents a critical genetic driver. Here, we report the identification of an in-frame PAX5::GSE1 fusion gene in a patient with B-ALL. Functional characterization revealed that the PAX5::GSE1 protein localizes to the nucleus, promotes cell proliferation and suppresses wild-type PAX5 transcriptional activity. Notably, its transcript levels correlated with treatment response, supporting its utility as a minimal residual disease biomarker. By analysing 330 patients with PAX5-r B-ALL, we identified 76 distinct in-frame partner genes and delineated their breakpoint characteristics. Integrated multi-cohort transcriptomic analysis further revealed that PAX5-r induces a convergent expression profile relative to healthy individuals, characterized by dysregulation of the retinoblastoma transcriptional corepressor 1 (RB1) and p53 pathways and overexpression of nucleophosmin 1 (NPM1). These findings help to clarify core molecular mechanisms underlying PAX5-r-driven leukaemogenesis and highlight potential therapeutic vulnerabilities.
