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

Mosaic chromosomal alterations (mCAs) are large somatic gains, losses and copy-neutral loss of heterozygosity identified in the peripheral blood, which represent a relatively unexplored spectrum of clonal haematopoiesis. We aimed to describe mCAs in two large Danish cohorts with extensive long-term registry-based follow-up and examine associations with haematological malignancy. We analysed genotype data from 97 752 participants from the Danish Blood Donor Study and 86 301 patients from the Copenhagen Hospital Biobank using the MoChA software. Association to haematological cancers was modelled with competing-risk methods and Cox regression, or logistic regression, via nationwide register linkage. Among 184 053 individuals, 15 459 (8%) carried autosomal mCAs and 14 322 females (17%) had loss of X, with prevalence increasing with age. In samples before or after diagnosis of haematological cancer, autosomal mCAs were detectable in 21%-62% of individuals depending on cancer subtype. Overall, the risk of haematological cancer was increased for individuals carrying autosomal mCA (hazard ratio [HR] 4.1 (95% confidence interval [CI] 3.1-5.5)), but not for individuals carrying loss of X chromosome (HR 1.1 [95% CI 0.7-1.6]). The level of malignancy risk was highly variable between different chromosomal aberrations, and cancer gene-related mCAs conveyed highest risk. Autosomal mCAs, especially those overlapping cancer gene loci, identify individuals at increased risk of haematological malignancy and may assist improvement of risk stratification and early detection.
