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.

Abstract

Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) has become a curable disease by all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA)-based induction therapy followed by two or three courses of consolidation chemotherapy. Currently around 90% of newly diagnosed patients with APL achieve complete remission (CR) and over 70% of patients are curable. To further increase the CR and cure rates, detection and diagnosis of this disease at its early stage is very important, hopefully before the appearance of APL-associated coagulopathy. In induction therapy, concomitant chemotherapy is indispensable, except for patients with low initial leukocyte counts. Prophylactic use of intrathecal methotrexate and cytarabine should be done, particularly for patients with hyperleukocytosis. If patients relapse hematologically or even molecularly, arsenic trioxide will be the treatment of choice under careful electrocardiogram monitoring. Am80, liposomal ATRA, gemtuzumab ozogamicin or ATRA in combination with cytotoxic drugs may be used at this stage or later. Allogeneic SCT will be the treatment of choice after patients of age <50 years have relapsed, provided that they have HLA-identical family donors or DNA-identical unrelated donors.
