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

The strategy for treatment of relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia must primarily be based on the patient's age and clinical condition as well as on the stage of the disease. Accordingly, the general decision between an intensive approach including high-dose chemotherapy or possibly immediate allogeneic bone marrow transplantation versus less-aggressive palliative treatment will precede the selection of the most appropriate salvage regimen. In patients qualifying for intensive second-line chemotherapy the duration of the first remission and the number of relapses provide the means to discriminate between refractoriness or maintained responsiveness to conventional protocols. More than 50% of patients with first relapses after 6-12 months remission duration will respond to standard therapy again and should therefore not be entered on investigational agents with unproven antileukemic activity. The latter seems deeply warranted, on the other hand, for early relapses, second recurrences and resistant first relapses with a remission rate of less than 30% after conventional regimens. These guidelines not only provide an objective rationale for selecting the most appropriate strategy at relapse in individual patients. Furthermore, they facilitate interstudy comparisons and a better judgement of different treatment protocols.
