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

Even though chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most prevalent leukemia of the Western world, the development of treatment approaches for CLL has lagged behind the development of approaches to various other hematologic malignancies for a variety of reasons. In recent years, the treatment approach to patients with CLL has evolved rapidly, with the addition of several new prognostic markers, highly effective immunochemotherapy combinations, and attainment of remission up to the point of the eradication of minimal residual disease (MRD). Highly sensitive methods now available to detect MRD can detect a single CLL cell in 10(4) leukocytes using either allele-specific oligonucleotide polymerase chain reaction or four-color or six-color flow cytometry. Over the past decade, several studies have examined the possible advantage of MRD eradication in CLL. This article reviews our current understanding of MRD eradication and analyzes whether it is a desirable goal in the routine clinical treatment of CLL, which will optimize the management of individual patients.
