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

To determine prognosis of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) failing to front-line therapy with all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and anthracyclines, outcome of 52 patients (32 M/20 F; age: 37, 3-72) included in PETHEMA trials LPA96 and LPA99 who presented with either molecular failure (MOLrel, n=16) or hematological relapse (HEMrel, n=36) was analyzed. Salvage therapy consisted of ATRA and high-dose ara-C-based chemotherapy (HDAC) in most cases (83%), followed by stem-cell transplantation (autologous, 18; allogeneic, 10; syngeneic, 1). Fourteen patients with MOLrel (88%) achieved second molecular complete response (molCR), whereas 81% HEMrel patients responded to second-line treatment, with 58% molCR. After median follow-up of 45 months, four MOLrel and 18 HEMrel patients, respectively, experienced a second relapse. Outcome after MOLrel compared favorably to HEMrel, with longer survival (5-year survival: 64+/-14 vs 24+/-8%, P=0.01) and lower relapse risk (5-year relapse risk: 30+/-13 vs 64+/-9%; P=0.044). Additionally, age <or=40 and male gender were favorable variables for survival, whereas molecular response predicted longer leukemia-free survival. In conclusion, early institution of salvage therapy at molecular failure, before onset of hematological relapse, is beneficial in APL. Moreover, given the poor outcome of HEMrel managed with ATRA and HDAC, use of alternative therapeutic strategies in this setting is warranted.
