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

Treatment response is a strong outcome predictor for childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Here, we evaluated the predictive impact of flow cytometric blast quantification assays (absolute blast count, BC, and blast reduction rate, BRR) in peripheral blood (pB) and/or bone marrow (BM) at early time points of induction therapy (days 0, 8 and 15) on the remission status in the AIEOP-BFM-ALL 2000 protocol. At the single parameter level (905 patients), the strongest predictive parameter for the remission status as a dichotomous minimal residual disease (MRD) parameter (positive/negative) has been provided by the BC at day 15 in BM (cutoff: 17 blasts/microl; 50 vs 15%; odds ratio: 5.6; 95% confidence interval: 4.1-7.6, P<0.001), followed by the BRR at day 15 in BM and by the BC at day 8 in pB (odds ratios: 3.8 and 2.6, respectively). In the multiple regression analysis (440 patients), BC in pB (d0 and d8) and in BM (d15) as well as BRR at day 8 in pB provided significantly contributing variables with an overall correct prediction rate of 74.8%. These data show that the quantitative assessment of early response parameters, especially absolute BCs at day 15 in BM, has a predictive impact on the remission status after induction therapy.
