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

purpose of reviewIn recent years, new molecular markers have emerged as significant prognostic parameters and as potential targets for molecularly targeted therapy in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). However, prognostic markers cannot guide the decision for a specific treatment, as they are associated with a differential outcome regardless of the given treatment. In contrast, predictive markers indicate a treatment benefit in patients that are characterized through these markers. Thus, predictive markers can guide clinical decision-making. RECENT

findingsIn young adults, mutations of the nucleophosmin (gene 9NPM1) in the absence of concurrent FLT3-internal tandem duplication (ITD) (FLT3-ITD) have impressive prognostic and, beyond prognostication, predictive properties. This NPM1/FLT3-ITD genotype predicts equivalent favorable outcome after intensive chemotherapy and allogeneic stem cell transplantation, whereas in the absence of this marker clinical outcome was significantly improved after an allogeneic transplantation. In addition, within a retrospective study performed on older adults, the same genotype predicted a significantly improved outcome if all-trans retinoic acid was added to intensive chemotherapy. SUMMARY: The discovery of new prognostic and predictive markers has increased our understanding of leukemogenesis and this may lead to improved prognostication and, more important, to novel genotype-specific treatment strategies.
