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 examine the prognostic significance of minimal residual disease (MRD) in t(8;21) acute myeloid leukemia (AML), 96 bone marrow samples from 26 Japanese patients in complete remission (CR) were analyzed regarding the RUNX1/MTG8 transcript using real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction assay. All patients were treated with intensive chemotherapy. The median copy number of the RUNX1/MTG8 transcript, measured after each treatment course decreased over time. However, an increase in the MRD level was documented in three patients after the second consolidation, and all of them subsequently relapsed. The relapse-free survival (RFS) did not differ between the patients whose MRD levels were below or above 1,000 copies/microg after the first consolidation, with respective 2-year rates of 62 and 86% (P = 0.21). With respect to the MRD level after induction therapy, our data also failed to show any favorable effect of a lower MRD on RFS. Although these findings need to be confirmed with a larger number of patients, our data indicate that the MRD level at a given time during the early course in CR does not predict the outcome in Japanese patients.
