Are low-intensity induction strategies better for older patients with acute myeloid leukemia?
Article in Leukemia research, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
This study compares outcomes of low-intensity versus standard-intensity induction strategies for older patients with acute myeloid leukemia at the Weill Cornell Leukemia Program. From 1999 to 2009, 298 adults ≥ 60 years with AML underwent induction chemotherapy with low-intensity and standard-intensity regimens, based on physician and patient preferences and investigational protocol availability. Overall, 33% of the cohort achieved complete remission with initial treatment, 23% with low-intensity induction and 53% with standard-intensity induction (P<0.0001). The median overall survival was 6.5 months and there was no significant difference in overall survival between patients initially treated with a low-intensity regimen compared to those receiving standard-intensity induction. There were no differences in 30- or 60-day mortality between the two groups.
