Low-dose oral etoposide-based induction regimen for children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in first bone marrow relapse.
Trial report in Leukemia, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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 evaluated the clinical response to low-dose etoposide in relapsed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Of the 45 patients with ALL in first bone marrow relapse enrolled on the ALL R15 protocol, 44 had received epipodophyllotoxins during frontline therapy. In the first week of remission induction therapy, patients received etoposide (50 mg/m(2) per day) administered orally as a single agent once or twice daily. On Day 8, patients started to receive dexamethasone, vincristine, and L-asparaginase. Etoposide was administered until Day 22. Two courses of consolidation therapy were followed by continuation therapy or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. After 7 days of single-agent etoposide treatment, peripheral blast cell counts (P=0.013) and percentages of bone marrow blasts (P=0.016) were significantly reduced. In all, 38 (84.4%) attained second remission. Only time to relapse was significantly associated with outcome (P=0.025): the 5-year event-free survival estimates (+/-se) were 52.0+/-9.6% for those with late relapse and 20.0+/-8.0% for those with early relapse. We conclude that low-dose etoposide administered orally has a cytoreductive effect in relapsed ALL.
