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

Background: Acute leukemia (AL) is a malignant hematological disorder, with two main subtypes: acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The incidence rate of AML and ALL is estimated at approximately 2.7 and 1.5 per 100,000 people, respectively, with an overall mortality rate of approximately 23.6%. This study aimed to investigate the association between human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-C genotypes and AML and ALL in a Moroccan population. Patients and methods: A cross-sectional and comparative study was conducted on 100 patients with AL including 43 cases of AML and 57 cases of ALL, compared to 120 healthy individuals as controls. HLA-C genotyping was performed in the two groups, using the PCR-SSO (polymerase chain reaction-sequence-specific oligonucleotide)-based technique. Results: The mean age of the patients was 32 ± 13 (2-62), with a sex ratio of 1.22 (55 male and 45 female patients). In patients with ALL categories, we observed a significantly higher frequency of HLA-C*12 [ Conclusion: Our findings show a strong association between HLA-C*12 and HLA-C*08 allele groups and AL, including both ALL and AML, which gives evidence of a predisposing effect. This highlights the influence of HLA polymorphism in the occurrence or resistance of AL in our population.
