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

A total of 120 patients with high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and AML progressed from MDS (MDS-AML) were registered in a randomized controlled study of the Japan Adult Leukemia Study Group (JALSG). Untreated adult patients with high-risk MDS and MDS-AML were randomly assigned to receive either idarubicin and cytosine arabinoside (IDR/Ara-C) (Group A) or low-dose cytosine arabinoside and aclarubicin (CA) (Group B). The remission rates were 64.7% for Group A (33 of 51 evaluable cases) and 43.9% for Group B (29 out of 66 evaluable cases). The 2-year overall survival rates and disease-free survival rates were 28.1 and 26.0% for Group A, and 32.1 and 24.8% for Group B, respectively. The duration of CR was 320.6 days for Group A and 378.7 days for Group B. There were 15 patients who lived longer than 1,000 days after diagnosis: 6 and 9 patients in Groups A and B, respectively. However, among patients enrolled in this trial, intensive chemotherapy did not produce better survival than low-dose chemotherapy. In conclusion, it is necessary to introduce the first line therapy excluding the chemotherapy that can prolong survival in patients with high-risk MDS and MDS-AML.
