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

introductionImaging flow cytometry (IFC) is a unique method combining multiparameter flow cytometry (MFC) with morphological evaluation of single cells. Since both analyses are integrated in the diagnostic work-up of myelodysplastic neoplasms (MDS), we wanted to explore the possibilities of IFC as a diagnostic tool for MDS, with focus on dyserythropoiesis.

methodsWe analysed fresh bone marrow (BM) aspirates from 26 patients with untreated MDS and MDS/MPN and compared them with 12 normal BM specimens (NBM) exploring the cytoplasmic compartment, nuclear abnormalities, and megaloblastoid changes.

resultsThe cytoplasmic compartment in MDS showed higher contrast and variance values compared to NBM (p < 0.001). Cells with abnormal nuclei and binucleated forms were significantly increased in MDS compared to NBM (p < 0.05 for both features). Most binucleated forms were found in the mature compartment, and many of them were G1 phase arrested. All maturation stages showed a significant increase in cell size in MDS compared to NBM (p < 0.001). In addition, we found decreased nuclear condensation combined with increased cell size for all erythropoietic maturation stages in MDS compared to NBM (p < 0.001). Finally, our previously described MDS-specific aberrant population of mature erythroblasts with decreased expression of CD36 and/or CD71 showed denser chromatin than both the mature erythropoietic MDS cells without immunophenotypic aberrancies (p < 0.001) and NBM (p = 0.024).

conclusionIFC can detect the major morphological changes associated with dyserythropoiesis in MDS, including the novel findings of increased cytoplasmic texture and bilobated non-proliferating erythroblasts, allowing for objectivity and standardization.
