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

Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are commonly linked to driver mutations in the JAK2, MPL, and CALR genes. In contrast, SH2B3 (LNK) mutations are uncommon and remain an under-characterized contributor to dysregulated JAK-STAT signaling. The clinical features and treatment responsiveness of SH2B3-mutated MPNs are not well defined, and data on outcomes with ropeginterferon alfa-2b in this molecular subgroup are limited. We report a 75-year-old man who presented for evaluation of headache, generalized bone pain, and night sweats and was found to have abnormal blood counts including persistent leukocytosis, erythrocytosis, and thrombocytosis. Prior molecular testing was negative for JAK2, MPL, and CALR mutations. Bone marrow examination showed hypercellularity with panmyelosis, mild megakaryocytic atypia, and WHO grade 1 reticulin fibrosis. Hematologic next-generation sequencing identified a pathogenic SH2B3 c.1481C>G (p.Ser494*) nonsense mutation, predicted to result in a loss of SH2B3's C-terminal regulatory domain. Given the tri-lineage cytoses and marrow findings, a diagnosis of SH2B3-mutated MPN was established. He was started on ropeginterferon alfa-2b, resulting in resolution of his symptoms and complete hematologic response (WBC ≤ 10 × 10
