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

introductionChronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most common type of leukemia in the Western countries and is very rare in Asia.

methodsPeripheral blood or bone marrow mononuclear cells obtained at initial diagnosis from 215 patients with CLL were analyzed by using next-generation sequencing to investigate the ethnic differences in genetic abnormalities.

resultsWhole-genome sequencing and whole-exome sequencing analyses on 30 cases showed that 9 genes, including IGLL5, MYD88, TCHH, DSCAM, AXDND1, BICRA, KMT2D, MYT1L, and RBM43, were more frequently mutated in our Taiwanese cohort compared with those of the Western cohorts. IGLL5, MYD88, and KMT2D genes were further analyzed by targeted sequencing in another 185 CLL patients, unraveling frequencies of 29.3%, 20.9%, and 15.0%, respectively. The most frequent positional mutation of MYD88 was V217F (26/45, 57.8%), followed by L265P (9/45, 20.0%). MYD88 mutations were significantly associated with IGLL5 mutations (p = 0.0004), mutated IGHV (p < 0.0001) and 13q deletion (p = 0.0164). CLL patients with co-occurrence of MYD88 mutations with KMT2D or/and IGLL5 mutations were associated with a significantly inferior survival compared to those with MYD88 mutation alone (not reached vs. 131.8 months, p = 0.007). In multivariate analysis, MYD88 mutation without KMT2D or IGLL5 mutations was an independently favorable predictor.

conclusionsIGLL5, MYD88, and KMT2D mutations were enriched in Taiwanese CLL, and co-occurrence of MYD88 mutations with KMT2D or/and IGLL5 mutations was associated with a poorer prognosis.
