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: Philadelphia-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), including essential thrombocythaemia (ET), polycythaemia vera (PV), and myelofibrosis (MF), usually affect older adults, but a subset occurs in adolescents and young adults (AYA). Regional age-stratified data remain limited. Methods: We retrospectively studied Philadelphia-negative MPN patients managed at the National Center for Cancer Care and Research from 2014 to 2024. Patients were classified as AYA (15-39 years) or older adults (≥40 years). Clinical, laboratory, molecular, thrombotic, bleeding, transformation, and survival outcomes were analyzed by subtype. Risk categories followed institutional disease-specific practice; analyses were descriptive and unadjusted. Results: The cohort included 220 patients: 79 ET, 47 MF, and 94 PV; 76 (34.5%) were AYA. Low-risk disease predominated in AYA ET (p<0.001) and PV (72.4% vs 35.4%; p=0.002), partly reflecting age-based risk definitions. In ET (molecular n=30 vs 49), Conclusion: AYA patients with Philadelphia-negative MPNs demonstrated age-related differences in risk classification, molecular profile, and thrombotic phenotype, while overall survival was comparable to older adults. Larger prospective multicenter studies are warranted.
