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

unlabelledProgress in the care of the hematologic malignancies of childhoond has been one of the proudest success stories in modern pediatrics. The cure rates of these diseases have improved from essentially zero in the 1950's and early 1960's to cure rates that range from 65%-90% in modern centers. While the largest improvements have been made in the most common (and the lower risk subtypes) of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL), there has also been significant progress in both the higher risk forms of ALL (i.e. Philadelphia chromosome positive, Ph+ ALL) and in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). This progress has been achieved by the careful and stepwise identification of clinical, cytogenetic, molecular, and most recently response-based prognostic criteria, that now allow oncologists to focus the intensity of the therapy more closely to what is required to cure individual subgroups of patients.

conclusionPediatricians need to be familiar with the changes in diagnostic and therapeutic approaches, because these changes have impact on: the laboratory tests that should be ordered at the time of specialist referral; counseling of patients and their families; and with the advent of "shared care models" pediatricians will need to be more involved in the general, supportive, and long-term care of these patients.
