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 analyzed the efficacy and toxicity of a modified Cancer and Leukemia Group B (CALGB) 19802 regimen in adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). From February 2002 to August 2005, 25 adults with untreated ALL were enrolled in the study. Compared to the original regimen, the modified CALGB 19802 regimen consisted of a 4-drug induction (cyclophosphamide, daunorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone) instead of a 5-drug induction (L-asparaginase was added to the previous regimen). This was followed by high-dose methotrexate (1,000 mg/m(2) x 3 days) and cytarabine (2,000 mg/m(2) x 4 days) for the consolidation cycles. High-dose systemic and intrathecal methotrexate was given for central nervous system prophylaxis. Twenty-three patients (92%) achieved a complete remission (CR), and two patients (8%) had refractory disease. With a median follow-up of 21.5 months, 10 patients (40%) were alive and continued to be in CR. The 3-yr probability of an event-free survival and the overall survival were 39.0% and 47.4%, respectively. Treatment related mortality and major grade 3 to 4 neurotoxicity occurred in 1 patient and 3 patients, respectively. The modified CALGB 19802 regimen demonstrated a high remission rate and a favorable survival rate.
