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

The feasibility of adding both the multidrug resistance modulator cyclosporin (CsA) and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) to a standard salvage regimen of idarubicin (IDA) and cytarabine was evaluated in patients with resistant or relapsed acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome. Three patients received IDA 12 mg/m2/day, the next four patients 9 mg/m2/day. The dose of CsA was 16 mg/kg/day. Six patients showed Pgp expression and none MRP1 expression. Grade III or IV toxicity (CTC-NCIC criteria) was registered in six patients for gastrointestinal, two patients for cardiovascular and one patient for neurological complications. Three patients died in hypoplasia and three patients showed leukemic regrowth. Three control patients were treated with IDA 12 mg/m2/day and cytarabine, but no CsA and G-CSF. The plasma IDA and idarubicinol (ida-ol) area under the curve's of patients treated with IDA 12 mg/m2 plus CsA were higher (P< 0.05) than in controls. Cellular IDA concentrations were almost similar, but cellular ida-ol concentrations were significantly higher (P < 0.05) in the presence of CsA than in controls. We conclude that the toxicity either with IDA 12 or 9 mg/m2/day was too high. The modulating effect of CsA was mainly based on changes in plasma kinetics of IDA and ida-ol, although ida-ol cellular clearance was delayed in the presence of CsA.
