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

We studied the iron status of 32 evaluable adult acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) survivors who were entered into the UK Medical Research Council acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) 10 and 12 trials at our institution between 1988 and 1998. Patients were required to have been independent of all blood products for at least 3 years. As a group, the median first serum ferritin level was 1323 mug/l (NR 19-300 mug/l) at a median of 1321 days from the last transfusion confirming the presence of significant iron overload persisting for some years after completion of all therapy and blood products. There was a general trend for the serum ferritin level to fall with time, but the fall was less pronounced in men and carriers of the C282Y mutation. Recipients of autologous stem cell transplantation (SCT) had a higher median first serum ferritin level (3245 mug/l) than patients who received chemotherapy alone (1148 mug/l) or allogeneic SCT (1334 mug/l) because of increased use of transfused blood. Nine of the 10 recipients of autologous SCT underwent venesection. No evidence of end organ damage was seen in any patient. Serial monitoring of serum ferritin and assessment of the C282Y status may be useful in all long-term AML survivors, especially autograft recipients.
