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

Paediatric blast-phase chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML-BP) is a rare and serious condition. Of 231 paediatric patients enrolled in the German CML-PAED-II registry between January 2007 and September 2023, 25 individuals (11%) were diagnosed with CML-BP. To identify genetic variants associated with early onset and disease transformation, we performed whole genome sequencing (WGS), deep targeted sequencing and cytogenetic analyses in 19 cases with de novo (n = 11) or secondary (n = 8) CML-BP and sufficient available biomaterial. Copy number variants (CNVs) were more frequent than single nucleotide variants (SNVs) and more prevalent in secondary than in de novo CML-BP. Recurrent pathogenic somatic SNVs were observed in ABL1 (n = 5, 24%), RUNX1 (n = 2, 12%) and ASXL1 (n = 2, 12%). Nine patients (47%) carried pathogenic germline (n = 8) or somatic (n = 1) variants in either of the genes ATM, CHEK2, FANCM, HERC2, NBN, RAD54B, RECQL4, SETD2 or TP63 belonging to the DNA damage response (DDR). Within a comparison cohort of 19 patients with chronic phase paediatric CML, only one individual (5%) exhibited a pathogenic DDR germline variant. Our study provides novel pathogenetic insights into paediatric CML-BP. The identification of pathogenic DDR-associated germline variants suggests a genetic predisposition with potential implications for patients and families concerning cancer treatment and surveillance.
